Update

Layton ServiceDesk

Do not uninstall Layton ServiceDesk prior to updating.

  1. Extract the lsd_update_673 folder from the archive to the root of an attached, local drive.
  2. Back up your database.
  3. In Windows Services Console, stop the following services:
    • IIS Admin Service
    • LaytonServiceDesk
    • World Wide Web Publishing Service.
  4. 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.
  5. Open the lsd_update_673 folder.
  6. Right-click the installer lsd_update_673.exe and select Run as administrator. This will avoid permission issues. Note that the progress dialog may report that it is not responding, but this process may simply take some time.
