7.4 not removing older versions during install
Last modified: 2009-09-28 13:33:18 UTC
Installing 7.3.3 over pre 7.0.x versions do not fully remove older installs. I had 5.2.0 installed on my windows system, upgraded to 7.3.3 and noticed that 5.2 had not been removed. In fact, I can still run 5.2 and 7.3.3 never started properly. It looked like 7.3.3 installed in both SlimServer and SqueezeCenter directory
James - unless you see the same issue when updating from SS6.x I won't bother about this.
Same thing happens when upgrading from 6.5 to 7.3.3 on Windows x86 Both SlimServer and SqueezeCenter tray icons show up as well as /program file directories are there To reproduce, clean windows system Install 6.5 Reboot (optional) Install 7.3.3 Observe
MAC upgrade from 6.5.0 >> 7.3.3 works
Mickey: should we hold 7.3.3 for this? or push off to 7.4 I don't know what how many people are still using <6.5 that would upgrade to 7.3.x
Let's keep the focus of 7.3.3 on improving Controller reliability and adding AAC. I will retarget for 7.4.
That's working fine for me :-/. I did as you said (testing with 6.5), and the 7.3 installer did correctly uninstall 6.5, though leaving one file (slim.exe) behind. This would no longer work. When you tested this, was slimserver running as a service or app? Would you still see it running in the task manager?
It was running as an Application. I'll retest with a later version of 7.3.3 and 7.4 (which is now the target) to verify.
I need to write up the test case and verify this is good now that all the name changes have taken place.
Adding time worked info
Dup in spirit of 7.4 problem. Installation scripts for squeezeboxserver don't remove squeezecenter. At least on Debian Lenny, probably other debian based distros (ubuntu, etc.)
I have not been able to reproduce this, been testing for several weeks now. Please continue to monitor up-till GM
Similar or related bug just occured on latest nightly, see https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13595
Retargeting for 8.0. Still working on 13595 but this seems rare.
Pat: this is needed for 7.4 verification. This is NOT an 8.0 issue.

That means you can go back. To get rid of the config files, you use the standard Debian installer purge option to purge the config files.
Marc: thanks for the update this is good news :)
For the most part this bug can be closed. Individual upgrade issues will be opened per os
