How to update CapaInstaller

...

Planning

Expand


Note
titlePlan Upgrade

When planning an update of CapaInstaller we recommend the following actions.

  1. You should plan on running the update procedure in a service window where the system load is low and where downtime for CapaInstaller services will have a small or no impact.
  2. Be prepared to either have CapaInstaller Security enabled and run the update as a member of the System Administrators group or to run it as a member of the CapaInstaller Administrator group. If these security requirements are not met you will not be able to patch CapaInstaller.

  3. During installation or update of Capainstaller please observe if an antivirus utility locks one or more files when they are being copied to the server. If so, it can be necessary to disable the virus protection during the update process.
