Layton ServiceDesk
Do not uninstall Layton ServiceDesk prior to updating. This is an update, not a full installer.
- Extract the lsd6721_update 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
- LaytonServiceDesk
- 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.
- Open the lsd6721_update folder.
- Right-click the installer lsd6721_update.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.
