Description Wallace Lai 2007-04-30 09:53:25 UTC

System Info:  Gateway, P4, 2.0 GHz, 1.25 GB of RAM, XP SP2 ENU

Steps:
1.  On a system with 6.5.2 (build 2007-04-27), stop SlimServer if it is running.
2.  Install 7.0a1 (build 2007-04-30) over it.
3.  In the middle of the install pocess, notice there is an error message box saying that slim.exe cannot be replaced.  Pressing "Retry" does not help.  "Ignore" is a bad idea.  Users could only "Abort".

Work Around:
Uninstall 6.5.2 first.  It would be nice if installer warns users about it before hand.

Comment 2 Michael Herger 2007-11-19 01:43:30 UTC

This is due to a problem in the 6.5.2 installer - we won't update it any more.
