Due to performance issues I want to uninstall the client from my desktop and start using a stand-alone workstation. I did call the ECSO and was told to read installation instructions carefully, remove old files left behind, etc. My question is: Are there any other things I need to be aware of, other than carefully following the installation manual and clearing out the C:\FDOTSS4 folder before the new install?
FDOTSS4 MR12 (Version:01.12.00)
Power GEOPAK V8i (SELECTseries 4)
Windows 10 Pro for Workstations
Patrick,
The process you describe above is sound and should get you where you're going. Here are some additional ideas:
1. Uninstall the FDOTSS4 client.
2. Be sure you are running the .878 or .904 version of Power GEOPAK Select Series 4
3. Delete the FDOTSS4 desktop folder and C:\FDOTSS4\ folder if they were not removed by the uninstall.
4. Install the FDOTSS4 MR12 workstation installation. There is also a QC fix available on our download page.
5. Restart your machine.
Some additional steps that shouldn't be necessary but might also be good to be aware of:
1. Running Workspace Doctor with all options enabled after doing a fresh install of the FDOTSS4 software is not a bad idea. Can't hurt and might clear out leftover temp data.
2. Right clicking on the FDOTSS4 launch icon and selecting "Run As Administrator" for the very first launch of a brand new install is also a good idea. Not necessarily critical, but if you've found that you are prone to VBA errors, this might help prevent that.
These are absolutely all the things I can think to mention. If you do run into any problems, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks!
