I just tried to upgrade to 6.3.7 using the Install file from www.jade.co.nz/jade and got the -5005 error on the installShield.

But when I tried 6.3.6 it worked fine. Could be a potential problem with the install file?

Have many people upgraded without any problems?

[BeeJay]

I've upgraded 3 different systems without any issues.

I did have a problem on one of our servers when upgrading to 6.3.06 whereby I had to create a shortcut to the InstallShield with -wait on the end of the command line to get it to work.

Refer this FAQ for more details: https://wiki.jadeworld.com/Why%20does%2 ... 0070006%3F

Perhaps the same trick will work for your upgrade issue?

Cheers,
BeeJay.

No the -wait command did not resolve the issue for me. I created a shortcut with the -wait command and that didn't work so I tried creating a batch file and no luck there either.

The strange thing is that I tried this upgrade on 2 different computers with different operating systems. XP and Server 2003.

There was not much useful information on the web about the -5005 install shield error. Except for try deleting the install shield folder. I did this and it still didn't work.

6.3.6 works for us and we don't really need anything in 6.3.7 so its not a big issue at the moment.

I've now tried the InstallShield on 4 different machines, WinXP Home Edition, WinXP Professional, Windows Vista Professional (64 bit) and Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) and it runs fine on all those machines.

I have seen strange errors like this previously with other InstallShields when the file got "corrupted" during the download process. Perhaps try downloading a fresh copy of the InstallShield and see if it will then launch correctly?

Cheers,
BeeJay.

I have seen an issue with install shields in the past on some operating systems, where they fail if run from the root directory of a drive. So for example it would work fine if run from c:\temp but not from c:\. Don't know if that might still be an issue.

[Stokes]

I did try to download it twice. Maybe I will try it from the CD (if we have got a copy of it).

I wasn't doing the load from the root directory either, it was a folder off the desktop.

Important
A critical hot fix for JADE 6.3.07 (.006) has been released and should be applied to all databases running this version of JADE.
