Test Installation

We recommend that you create a Test Installation and upgrade it before committing to updating your live system.

Procedure

Do not uninstall Layton ServiceDesk prior to upgrading. This is an update, not a full installer.

1. Extract the lsd669_upgrade folder from the archive to the root of an attached, local drive.
2. Back up your database
3. In Windows Services Console:
   1. Stop the IIS Admin service
   2. Stop the LaytonServiceDesk service
4. Open the lsd669_upgrade folder.
5. Disable anti-virus software on the server, if running. This has been known to prevent the copying of files, especially .exe files, to the Program Files folder.
6. Right-click the installer lsd669_upgrade.exe and select Run as administrator. This will avoid permission issues.
7. In Windows Services Console, start the IIS Admin and LaytonServiceDesk services.
8. Enable anti-virus software, if applicable.
