RE: [IMail Forum] 8.10 Install Problem

[Stephan]

Not sure if that would help you, but whenever I do an update I first kill 
all Imail services and check the taskmanager to see that all imail services 
(including third party services like Declude) are no longer running before 
doing the upgrade. Usually the smtp/declude services and the webmail take a 
little while longer to die after they have been stopped (up to a minute or 
two).
By using this method I can always update/apply hotfixes without a reboot 
(even when I tested the 8.05 to 8.10 upgrade)

Sounds like some files were in use when you did the upgrade.  Did it ask 
you to reboot after it was finished upgrading?

Subject: [IMail Forum] 8.10 Install Problem
Hello List

My upgrade from 8.03 story.

I cannot install hotfixes because I get "Old file not found" errors, so I
decided to bite the bullet, and install the latest version.
After backing up my server, I installed v8.10.  I simply overwrote the old
directory structure.
The programs installed with no problems, but when I tried to run IMail, I
received the error "bad entrypoint" in Mailbox.dll
I removed the install and tried again, with the same result.

Giving it up as a bad job, I removed the directories, deleted the registry
files, and restored my old system, which seems no worse for it's little
holiday.
My server is a DELL Poweredge 2650
Single 1.8 Zeon
1Gb RAM
80Gb SCSI HDD
Dual Gb Broadcom NetXtreme NIC
Running Windows 2K patched up to buggery.

Can anyone tell me where I went wrong?

Cheers - Chris

Oh, BTW - Happy Non-Denominational Easter everyone.
