Installer exits because newer version exists

I released a production test application last month and began work on another project that is similar, but not similar enough to try to make the first program handle both products.  So I copied the entire project, made the many modifications that I needed and built an Application and Installer.  The installer put my new program where I wanted it but it deleted the executable made from the original project.  I've tried to reinstall the original but the installer stops after informing me that a newer version of the program already exists.  I'm guessing that it's referring to the new program.
I've inspected the build specifications of both and can't see anything that ties them together.  What am I doing wrong?

Hey Jim,
When you copied your new project over did you update the output path associated with the installer?  When I do this on my machine the path for the installer still points to the Original Project and has to be updated.  I would also take a look at this KB: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/7512140C7C9​D0C5F86256CC2007B722A?OpenDocument  Each LabVIEW installer uses an Upgrade Code which Microsoft uses to associate the two installers.  The KB outlines how to fix this for instances where you want to copy the project.  There are also some other issues that can arise from copying projects that are here and may be applicable: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7197
Please post back if this solves your issue or if you have any additional questions.

  • SMSY: Newer Version Exists in Solman 7

    Hi,
    I Have a SolMan 7 system on SP15 and it seems that SMSY is not updating data correctly. I had an old 4.6C R3 server system registered and it was sending data to SLD from rz70. It was later upgraded to ECC6 and when data is sent to SLD it gets registered version 700 (<host>:5xx00/sld). SMSY has been setup to update itself from SLD but it gets registered as a 4.6C R3 server system where as i thought it would have been picked up as a ECC6 system.
    What i did was:
    1. completely delete the system from SMSY, logical components etc
    2. trigger rz70 to send up to date info to SLD
    3. in SolMan run landscape fetch job and let SMSY update
    4. checked SMSY and it comes up with a yellow exclamation box next to it saying "Newer Version Exists".
    I redone the steps above but still its comes into SMSY as a R/3 server.
    Any suggestions as i have searched OSS notes for a long time but there is nothing.
    Thanks,
    Mani

    Thanks Andreas,
    Will this adjustment remain the same after the next job is run to fetch data from SLD? i am worried when it fetches data from SLD and populates SMSY that it will change to R/3 Server type product.

  • Action not possible because change version exist

    Dear All,
    We are at SRM5.0- Extended Classic scenario and facing issues for changing some of the PO documents.
    When the buyers are trying to change the PO, error is getting populated as 'Action not possible because change version exist'. This error is not allowing us to change the PO.
    These POs are changed in the past and all the relevant changes are reflected to backend system with no issues. In other words Change Versions do exists for these POs. Flags for Change Version completion is also set and all historical versions can be seen but without change history.
    Additional information -
    1. No approval workflows are implemented for PO.
    2. No locks are active for these documents.
    Appreciate your help!
    Regards,
    Sagar

    Hi Sagar and thanks for your response,
    well, actually the active change version won't be preserved in any case. It would be overwritten in the first scenario, and deleted in the second one. The reason why I'd like to have this "brute force" method is to face an eventual human error. Suppose that a disalignment between R3 and SRM has been created; my report basically "alligns" the SRM version to the corresponding R3 one. And suppose also that the user made a mistake so that the program must be used a second time. I'd like to provide a way to "UNDO" the first execution of the program, that is to say: i'd like to provide a way to OVERWRITE the actual active, change version, or alternatively delete the change version that the report did create the first time it has been launched.
    Hope it's a bit clearer now
    Thanks for any hint/suggestion you can give me
    EDIT: Oh, and please... can you provide me further information about your solution? I mean, use of that FM to unlock an active version of the PO and then the proper call to BBP_PD_PO_UPDATE specifying how you managed input params. Thanks a lot

  • "newer version exist" in Solution Manager SMSY version 4.0

    Hello
    We do run Solution Manager version 4.0.
    We have configured our D/Q and P Systems for SAP BW 3.5 (Netweaver)
    When I goto Transaction SMSY there is always a yellow triangle for our BW Dev System which indicates "newer version exist".
    Does anyone of you know how I can get rid of that warning?
    Does this warning means that there is a newer version available? (SAP BI 7.0) or does thie warning indicate there there is a mismatch in my BW versions in the Solution Manager? Strange is also that BW Dev/Q and P match in terms of version in the Solution Manager nevertheless this warning is only visible for BW Dev environment.
    regards
    Nesimi

    Hello,
    Thank you for your valid input!
    When I goto "Other Object" and Select my BW Dev System (SBD) and than goto "Installed Product Versions" it already has the SAP NeWeaber 2004 Product selcted. I can get rid of the yellow triangle when I remove the hook fromthe SBD System in "Leading Product". But the strange thing about this is that I do have this hook enabled in my BW Q and P System and all of them (D,Q and P) run on exactly the same version.
    So now I got rid of the yellow triangle but this one little parameter is now different from D to Q and P.
    any suggestions?
    Thank you
    best regards

  • Add-on installation failed because another version is already installed

    when desinstaler addon, and soon trying to install he himself addon but with a superior version, does not leave. Since it says that it must be a later version, when it is it. There is some site where cleans the registry of addones installed?
    the message is : "Add-on Ficheros de banco: Add-on installation failed because another version is already installed. Ensure that the version number is higher than the version previously installed."

    The best way is to go in Addon-Project Development and in its Bin directory change its exe name.  for example it its exe name is abc.exe then change it to abc1_0.exe
    It will work properly.

  • HI,Have 10.10.3 version email system does not work at all it display emails up to the installation of the new version, no incoming or outgoing emails

    HI,
    Have 10.10.3 imac version- email system does not work at all it display emails up to the installation of the new version, no incoming or outgoing emails

    That helped thanks-
    I was able to solve this by deleting all "Envelop Index*"- and "ExternalUpdates*"-files in ~/Library/Mail/v2/MailData. After that I restarted Mail and let it reindex all mailboxes.

  • The installer thinks a newer version of QuickTime exists.

    I tried to upgrade to iTunes 7.6, but I couldn't, so I tried installing it manually. I uninstalled iTunes and QuickTime, but when I went to install iTunes I got the following error message. "A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed." I am running Vista. Any help would be great. Just keep in mind that I am not very computer smart.

    I now have the exact same issue. I have thoroughly cleaned any trace of Itunes or Quicktime including the Registry and still it thinks there is a version of quicktime on this pc. I was able to find an older Quicktime and Itunes 7.5 and they will install, but I didn't run it before trying to run the 7.6 version install. It continued to say a new version of Quicktime was there but its not. I don't know where they are looking to see if a version exists. They should have a way to force an install to overwrite no matter what is on a PC. Are you listening APPLE??????? Get with the rest of the software world. Guess I should go get a Zune...

  • Cannot install program because newer version already exists?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install fontographer but it says it cannot install on this disk because a newer version of the program is already installed.
    I find this quite strange because I've completely removed every single file of the other version, but still it says it's installed.
    Anyone knows how I can solve thi problem?
    Many thanks to anyone who is willing to help me.
    Greetz,
    Finn.

    Use the developers method to completely uninstall the newer version of the program.
    Sometimes a program will leave it's preference files because you might be uninstalling and reinstalling the same version to fix a software issue. The older version see's the newer version preference files and gives the errors.
    Use the free Easy Find and find the programs file(s) and/or just remove them from your ~/Library/Preferences folder by Finder > Go to Folder > /Library/Preferences
    There may be files in other locations as well. Perhaps it's best to ask the developer where all the files are for completel removal.

  • What happened to the toolbar? The only way i can exit this new version is to end the task, cntl/alt/del. I think you screwed up a good thing!!

    I no longer have the tool bar. The only way to exit is to use the task manager to exit. Bookmarks, history, nothing is visible. When exiting via the task function, it says the system is waiting for a reply, but nothing shows on screen. There is no way I will upgrade my other computers to this new version of Firefox!!

    There is no orange button shown. All I have shown is:
    the Firefox Logo
    Google box to enter search item, search
    Signup
    Restore previous screen
    Only way out is cntl/alt/del

  • Cannot install older version softwares because newer version is found

    Hi people,
    I'm trying to install an older version of a particular software, but mac says newer version is found and would not let me install it. So what should I do?
    Thank you.

    You will need to uninstall the newer version so that the older can be installed. Whether you can get around it by shifting the newer version to another folder I can't say. If you have the installer for the newer it shouldn't matter if you trash the application.

  • Installation Media and newer versions of the OS on install media.

    I am looking for any resources for getting updated installation media throughout an operating system life cycle. I am unable to find this on the Apple Store. We have a deployment system that would like to be able to install from the installation media to each type of hardware. The process means nothing in my question.
    What I need to know is there any way to get a copy of each os update on an install media rather than wait till it comes out and hope what you purchase will be the current. I am not looking to install for older media sources and the updating as that will break at some point.

    If none of the items on this page is what you're looking for, Apple doesn't offer that.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.

  • OSB installation - replacing log4j with more newer version

    Hi,
    Is it safe to replace in production a log4j_1.2.8.jar file that is a part of OSB installation with a newer version - log4j-1.2.16.jar?
    We try using JBoss JMS client in the domain where OSB is installed, however it requieres at least 1.2.12 version of log4j.
    Thanks,
    Yuriy

    I wouldn't replace any library bundled with WebLogic. I would rather put new jar into the application and set prefer-web-inf-classes to true.
