BlueZone Installation

Chapter 2

Upgrading BlueZone Version 3.2 or Earlier

Overview

This procedure is written specifically for upgrading BlueZone versions 3.2 or earlier.  It is important to review the entire BlueZone Upgrade Procedure before proceeding.

Starting with BlueZone version 4.1, BlueZone uses an MSI type installer (InstallShield Wizard), to keep track of all the installed BlueZone files.  Since you are upgrading a version of BlueZone 3.2 or earlier, this is the first time that the InstallShield Wizard has had an opportunity to run.  This means that for this upgrade only, the InstallShield Wizard will be performing what is essentially a BlueZone installation.  In the future, BlueZone upgrades will be under the control of the InstallShield Wizard and therefore will be much easier to perform.

Your current BlueZone scripts, macros, etc., will remain intact and will be fully compatible with the upgraded version of BlueZone.

IMPORTANT!  Please be aware that starting with version 3.3, BlueZone defaults to Profile Mode.  Prior to version 3.3, the default mode for BlueZone was Registry Mode.  In Registry Mode, all your BlueZone session configurations were stored in the Windows Registry.  In Profile Mode, all your session configurations are stored in configuration files called Profiles.  During the "upgrade" process, the BlueZone Installation Wizard will delete the old BlueZone Registry settings.

When the upgrade process is complete, and you launch your upgraded version of BlueZone, you will not have any BlueZone configuration profiles.  So it is important that you write down all your host addresses before you upgrade BlueZone so that you can recreate them more easily.

If you are ready to upgrade, continue with the following BlueZone Upgrade Procedure.
