Upgrading VirtualCenter 2.5u2 -> 2.5u3

[Rennes]

Hello,

i want to upgrade virtual center 2.5u2 to 2.5u3. So I looked at VMware upgrade guide, I downloaded the zip update, unzipped it, lauched the autorun, and then, I got the attzached message :uninstall before you reinstall. In the guide though, they say the installer will take care of the uninstall and the reinstall. How should I do it ?

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas

I can't open the error attachment. Can you please attach it again?

Hello,

Sure here it is, as a jpg

Thanks. That error usually only comes up when you are at the latest version and that there are no changes to be made. Are you sure you downloaded the correct zip file?

This is the site - . If you do confirm you have the right download. Can you attach a screen shot of the About Virtual Centre so that we can see the build number etc....

I didn't go from u2 to u3, but that jpg you posted looks like the components such as update manager/converter which it is talking about uninstalling and reinstalling for the version changes.

Chill : Here is the version screenshot.

Kyle : Hello, actually the message states that all the components are already installed (which is something I knew) .

Hi that shows that you are already upgraded to 2.5 Update 3. The reason you are getting the message is that there is nothing to upgrade. You have the latest and greatest.

DVD ISO image that is the installer which includes VirtualCenter 2.5 Update 3 (build 119598)

You can find that information when you go to the actual download page where it gives you a list of options to choose from. I just Copied that out of the DVD .iso option

Right on the page where you download from. If you read the description,

it does include the build number. You have to log in in order to

download.
