Layton ServiceDesk
Do not uninstall Layton ServiceDesk prior to updating.
- Extract the lsd_update_673 folder from the archive to the root of an attached, local drive.
- Back up your database.
- In Windows Services Console, stop the following services:
- IIS Admin Service

- World Wide Web Publishing Service.
- 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.
