WSUS on a new server

I have a WSUS server running Server 2003 SP2 on a 64 bit bit with SQL 2005. It needs to be replaced. I am not sure if starting over is the best idea or migrating. The WSUS has not been updating properly for a about a year. I was thinking about starting
over and sending the GPO to the new server. What is the best plan?
If it doesn't currently work correctly, there seem to be little point in try to migrate it. Almost certainly you'll end up with a broken migration. But of course, this depends on why it's broken.
First you state that "the WSUS has not been updating properly"... so we need to break this down. Are you saying that the WSUS server has not been patched in the past year?... or are you saying that client systems have not been getting patches from the WSUS
server? This distinction, no doubt, may be important downstream, but I'll start with this question:
Have you installed KB2720211 or KB2734608 on this WSUS server yet?
Second question, as regards "starting over"... would it be your intent to rebuild a WSUS v3 server on this Windows Server 2003 SP2 system or deploy a new instance of WSUS on a newer operating system -- keeping in mind, of course, that support for Windows
Server 2003 expires in about a year. This has a lot to do with whether migration is even an option for you.
Finally.... the last part of your statement "....and sending the GPO to the new server". What
exactly do you mean by that statement?

Windows Update Error 80080005 Windows 7 Client with WSUS 3.0 SP2 server

Hello everyone, I've looked around at other threads related to my issue, and I can't seem to find a correct answer.
I have a computer lab that I've recently installed a Windows 7 Enterprise image onto 35 Dell Optiplex computers (most are 380's, a few older 360's).
I created the image using MDT2010 and used one of the 380's as a reference.
All has been well for about a month or two but recently 6 computers are giving me Windows Update errors with the error code of 80080005.
I have a WSUS 3.0 SP2 server running, and all of my other computers seem to be getting their updates just fine. WSUS has the problematic computers in it's database, but it shows that they haven't checked in for "x" days.
I have Avast 4.8 Professional installed, I have OpenDNS configured to block bad websites, ____, etc. and I also use an Untangle server to prevent access to bad websites. I've ran a Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware scan on the affected computers, as well
as Windows Defender scan, and Windows Live OneCare scans, and all have found no malicious software.
I have also tried resetting the Windows update service as described here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 as well as a script that supposedly does the same thing, but also resets all previous
update events, but I can't find the script source right now (I had ran it last week, and it didn't work).
I'm currently running a SFC /Scannow on one of the computers, and now it has finished. It gives the error: Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service. I'll have to google that next.
The last windows update that ran on the computer that I'm working on now was installed on 11-18-2010 and was a Windows Defender Update (KB915597 Def: 1.93.1985.0)
Previous to that was 11/9/2010 2 updates: KB977165 and KB981852.
I guess I'll have to look at all of the other machines to see if they have the same updates installed.
Anyway, has anyone else had this problem? I've seen vista home editions, and RC's but no real Windows 7 Pro+ RTM versions in business environments where updates were controlled by WSUS.
Thanks for any help that you can provide!
By the way, I only work at this location once a week (tuesdays, well thursdays too, but I'm next door to this building, but I have remote access), so bare with me on trying to fix things.

Ok, for the sake of completeness, I have completed the instructions given by Miya Yao.
After stopping the Windows Update Service (from an Admin Command prompt window), renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder to SDold, then starting the update service again, I still receive the same error when checking for updates.
The windows update log shows this (starting from about 4am) and I just reset the service at about 9:10, which you can see in the log.

WSUS PowerShell tools in Server 2012R2

a few questions about Server 2012 R2 WSUS server. I'm working on automating our patching environment using PowerShell.
1. How do I access the WSUS cmdlts on the new server? Do I have to download a wsus module from somewhere? Does something need to be enabled?
2. Are the built in WSUS cmdlts the same as what Boe Prox spoke about in his thread in the scripting guy forum.
any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Flite23

Hi Flite23,
Since your server version is 2012 R2, Windows Powershell has built-in WSUS Module since Server 2012 if the WSUS role has been installed, you can run the wsus cmdlets directly:
Windows Server Update Services Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell
I haven't tested Boe Prox's script, but it's useful on the old server version without built-in WSUS Module:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/ba65fb73-b3b7-483f-9e8f-eda19fd051f8#content
If you want to use the cmdlets in WSUS Module, you can run this cmdlet to get help information: "get-help Get-WsusServer -full".

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.
Cheers,

7.5 SP3 New Server - Runtime Error on Web Page

Hi experts
I have added a new web server to an existing BPC installation.
The environment is load-balanced, 7.5 SP3, built on windows server 2003 SP2, with SQL 2008 SP1
I used the prerequisites:
Xceed v6.5
Antixscript v3
However, when I try to open the /osoft page directly on the new server, I see the error shown at the bottom of this page.
I checked the DLLs against those on the 2 working servers, and they are the same.
I have copied the antixscript dll from system32 to websvr\bin, as I have seen similar problems before and this has resolved it.
Unfortunately, it hasn't worked this time.
I have also checked that I can log my PC (windows 7, IE8) into either of the existing web servers, and they work fine
I have also opened the web site directly on the new server and that works fine (although it offers nothing but Web and Admin, as Excel is not installed)
I really need to get this server up for user testing first thing in the morning (UK time)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
ERROR DETAILS:
Server Error in '/OSoft' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Quick update:
I'm removing BPC and reinstalling, as the issue definitely lies within BPC and/or its associated Web Site.
I know this as I am able to successfully connect from a client PC to to Reporting Services website.
If anyone has any suggestions, now would be a great time to make them known.
Thanks again

Problem with the new server UCS C220 for set IP to CIMC

Hi
We’ve a problem with the new server UCS C220.
We bought two servers UCS C220 M3 for CallManager 8.6 with High Availability.
When we turn on the server during the boot and when it tells us, oppress F8 to enter at the CIMC and set the IP. But it never enters at the CIMC.
Then, we configure our DHCP server and our switch, we connect the three gigabyte ports to our switch to give him an IP to the CIMC, so and then can enter via browser, but neither works.
Note. The dedicated management NIC does not link, the other two ports do make link.
What do you suggest to put an IP to CIMC and start installing our applications?
regards

You may have noticed that there is no DVD rom on the c220. What you need to do is:
Login into the CIMC from your browser
Luanch the KVM
Insert the VMware DVD in your machines drive
On the KVM pop up there should be a tab to mount the drive, after mounting it click on Macros and choose ctrl_alt+delete to restart.
After the VMware OS installs press F2 to enter IP.
Browse to the VMware ip to download the Vsphere client
Open the Vsphere client, enter the ip of the vmware and the username will be root and no password if you did not set one.
You can now upload OVA templates or manually create virtua machine from this enviroment.
Hope this help

No data in web analytics report after moving to new server

Hi,
I have a Sharepoint 2010 portal, we need to move that portal to a new server.
For this, I took the backup of the Web Analytics Reporting db and Staging db and restored them in the SQL of new server. Then, I created new Web Analytics Service Application on the new server with reference to the restored databases.
Now, when I go to check Web Analytics report, there is no data in it.
Is this because the url of my portal is now changed? Will I be able to get all my data when I change the AAM of new server to the old portal's url?
Kindly help

Hi,
I wonder if Data exists starting from the date of finishing moving. If not, then please make sure Web Analytic is working in your environment.
You could also check ULS log for relevant error information.
Here is a similar issue for your reference:

Move portal from one server to a new server

We had a hardware crash, and the server is not recoverable. We restored everything to a new server with a new host name. That is the only thing that has changed. I thought i found all the areas where the old host name was in the properties files and in configtool.
When I log into the portal, and look at System Managment - Administrator - Systems, its shows me the correct name and server, when I click on it, it says my instance name and id, with the incorrect (old server name). Where is this value stored?

trial and error i came up with a doc and also used the java copy doc sap has on the portal

New Server Installation, now client computers can't connect to services. Where to go from here?

Hello.
I recently had to setup a new Mac Mini Server (Mavericks). We had one previously but one of the raided hard drives failed. No backup.
Our office of 6 Apple MacBook Pros used to connect to all file sharing and calendar services, easily.
On the new Server installation, I added the same users with the same passwords etc. The client computers cannot access calendars, file sharing etc. On the clients, I have opened up System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > Network Account Server and added the FQDN of the server, but I get an error ' Unable to add server. Connection failed to the directory server. (2100) '
2 of the clients are on Mountain Lion. The rest are on the latest Mavericks.
I'm a bit lost on where to go from here and would appreciate your help before I wipe everything and start from scratch.
Thanks.

Hi Strontium90
Ha! There was a time machine backup, but we had a storm here which rendered it and the server useless. We are such a small team without an 'IT' guy, apart form me as I have a vague interest in all things Apple.
What is your DNS name space?
Do you need the name here?
Do the servers and the client agree on this name?
Not sure what you mean. The domain name works as when I type it into a web browser, I can see the 'Welcome to Server' page.
Did you enable an Open Directory Master?
Yes. Open Directory is running.
Did you grant the users/group access to the service you are offering?
Yes. All services are checked for each user.
Make sure the user/group is permitted to access your enabled services.
All allowed, too.
Oh, and implement a backup strategy
Will do, once I sort out this problem. Time Machine and off-site, I think.

How do I move mail from an old server to a new server?

I am rebuilding my server. The new server runs on OS X 10.9.4 with Server 3.1.2. The old server ran OS X 10.9.x and Server 3.x (the exact versions are not known).
Within the folder /Library/Server/Mail, I found the email stores for both systems. I have gone through each folder and identified the 36 character string that serves to identify the user's mailbox and paired each one to a user id on both systems. On the old system, there are multiple mailboxes for some users, and I think it is a result of the users being deleted and recreated: perhaps the system identified the identical name and assumed that the user might be different and therefore created a unique 36 character id for the mail system.
The trick is, I am trying to recover the mail from the old server.
I have attempted to copy the files which are human readable and formatted for SMTP transmission to the new server under the correct mailbox corresponding to the owning user (see screen shots below). The simple act of copying the files has not made these files visible via the IMAP protocol. I have tried restarting the mail service hoping that the Server app would rebuild whatever indexes need to be built so that the mail can be served via IMAP, and that has not worked either.
The question is, how do I get the mail from the old server mail boxes into the new server mailboxes?
This screen shot shows the location of one mail collection at /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/[userid]. Mail sits in the "new" folder only for a moment before being processed and put into the "cur" folder. Copying mail from the old server into the "new" folder produces an empty "new" folder, but one can see the files populate briefly before they are moved into the "cur" folder.
The next screen shot shows one email opened in TextEdit. The format should look very familiar. This is the same format that one would use to send SMTP requests to an SMTP server. This particular example happens to be an email from a Gmail account to the PediatricHeartCenter.org domain to test the mail system when the old server was set up. It was sent on 24 Jan 2014 and had text reading "Intended for Mavericks1. -Jared".

On further research, I have learned that OS X Server sets Dovecot to use the MailDir format. The email messages can be removed from the folders and put back, and as long as they were present in the folder to begin with (received by Dovecot originally), they reflect in the Mail.app on client computers. Deleting a file in the "cur" folder causes the file to disappear in Mail.app. Copying the file back into the "cur" folder will cause the file to reappear without any modification of an index file or any other system component, as long as the file was properly formatted by Dovecot to be identifiable to that folder.
According to Dovecot.org's review of MailDir found here (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Ma,ilboxFormat/Maildir), the file name can be broken into simple pieces: " [unixtimestamp].[process id].[hostName],S=<message size>,W=<virtual message size>/2,[status tags]". The original MailDir++ specification requires the string ":2," to appear after the virtual size, but this file naming format is not legal in Mac OS X, so Dovecot is modified by Apple to use "/2," instead.
The Dovecot's wiki describes inserting new messages as follows:
Mail delivery
Qmail's how a message is delivered page suggests to deliver the mail like this:
Create a unique filename (only "time.pid.host" here, later Maildir spec has been updated to allow more uniqueness identifiers)
Do stat(tmp/<filename>). If the stat() found a file, wait 2 seconds and go back to step 1.
Create and write the message to the tmp/<filename>.
link() it into new/ directory. Although not mentioned here, the link() could again fail if the mail existed in new/ dir. In that case you should probably go back to step 1.
All this trouble is rather pointless. Only the first step is what really guarantees that the mails won't get overwritten, the rest just sounds nice. Even though they might catch a problem once in a while, they give no guaranteed protection and will just as easily pass duplicate filenames through and overwrite existing mails.
Step 2 is pointless because there's a race condition between steps 2 and 3. PID/host combination by itself should already guarantee that it never finds such a file. If it does, something's broken and the stat() check won't help since another process might be doing the same thing at the same time, and you end up writing to the same file in tmp/, causing the mail to get corrupted.
In step 4 the link() would fail if an identical file already existed in the maildir, right? Wrong. The file may already have been moved to cur/ directory, and since it may contain any number of flags by then you can't check with a simple stat() anymore if it exists or not.
Step 2 was pointed out to be useful if clock had moved backwards. However again this doesn't give any actual safety guarantees, because an identical base filename could already exist in cur/. Besides if the system was just rebooted, the file in tmp/ could probably be even overwritten safely (assuming it wasn't already link()ed to new/).
So really, all that's important in not getting mails overwritten in your maildir is the step 1: Always create filenames that are guaranteed to be unique. Forget about the 2 second waits and such that the Qmail's man page talks about.
The process described by the QMail man page referenced above suggests that as long as a file is placed in the "new" folder, that a mail reader can access it. The mail reader then moves the file to the "cur" folder and "cleans up" the "new" folder. This is clearly happening in OS X, because the messages are moving from "new" to "cur", but IMAP is still not serving these foreign messages to the remote readers.
The thought crossed my mind that perhaps it is the fact that the host name does not match, which would cause the failure, however changing the "host" portion of the name from the old-server to the new-server did not fix the issue. Even with the new server name in the file name, the inserted message fails to appear in client Mail applications.
Within the file their is header information that still references the old machine. I'd like to not have to change the email files, because this will violate the integrity of the message. Also, this might take a lot of time or incur risks associated with poor automated processing. The header information should not be referenced by Dovecot, because the wiki page describing MailDir notes that neither Dovecot nor Dovecot's implementation of IMAP refers to the messages header information when moving and serving these mail files.
Unlike when using mbox as mailbox format, where mail headers (for example Status, X-UID, etc.) are used to determine and store meta-data, the mail headers within maildir files are (usually) notused for this purpose by dovecot; neither when mails are created/moved/etc. via IMAP nor when maildirs are placed (e.g. copied or moved in the filesystem) in a mail location (and then "imported" by dovecot). Therefore, it is (usually) not necessary, to strip any such mail headers at the MTA, MDA or LDA (as it is recommended with mbox).
This paragraph leads me to believe that after the mail box is identified that the content of the file becomes irrelevant to the system which manages. This suggests that we should be able to inject messages into a mailbox and have the system serve them as though they had belonged in that mailbox all along. Yet I have not found a way to do this.

How can I move the distribution database to a new server?

I need to migrate an old distribution database to a new VM. My understanding is that you can detach/attach the distribution DB to make this easier. What are the 'gotchas' in this process? Do I need the detach/attach the system databases as well? The distributor
is facilitating data from Oracle to SQL Server.
Another question.. what are some good benchmarks for figuring out how much horsepower I should have set up in my VM that running distribution?
Thanks,
phil

Hi philliptackett77,
As your description, you want to migrate the distribution database to a new server. Based on my research, you need to remove the replication, create the distribution on the new server, and recreate publication and subscription according to Satish's post.
So you don’t need to detach or attach the distribution database or system databases.
To make this process simple, you could use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate scripts and run the scripts to recreate publications and subscriptions or drop publications and subscriptions as the screenshot below. Checking ‘To create or enable the
components’ generates the script for creating the publications and subscriptions, and Checking ‘To drop or disable the components’ generates the script for dropping the publications and subscriptions.
Firstly, please use SSMS to generate the script which is used to create publications and subscriptions.
1.Connect to Publisher, or Subscriber in SSMS, and then expand the server node.
2.Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Generate Scripts.
3.In the Generate SQL Script dialog box, check ‘To create or enable the components’.
4.Click Script to File.
5.Enter a file name in the Script File Location dialog box, and then click Save. A status message is displayed.
6.Click OK, and then click Close. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152483.aspx
Secondly, follow the steps above, check ‘To drop or disable the components’ to generate the script used to drop publications and subscriptions. Then run the sript to drop publications and subscriptions.
Thirdly, please disable distribution using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152757(v=sql.105).aspx.
Fourthly, please create the distribution at the new server using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151192.aspx#TsqlProcedure.
Last, please run the script generated in the first step to recreate publications and subscriptions.

Report Fails on New Server - Looking for CrystalXIRuntime.msi

Hi - I have been trying to migrate to a new webserver but cannot get one of my apps to run,   Our former developer - who I cannot find - used Crystal Runtime in a reporting app and I cannot seem to get the right version of the runtime installed on the new server.
Our existing server has been running for 3 years and this app has been on there for a while.    When I prepped the new server I installed Crystal 11 .Net Server software.    However, one of my apps still does not run.    I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Source Error:
Line 34:<compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true">
Line 35: <assemblies>
Line 36: <add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
Line 37: <add assembly="CrystalDecisions.Shared, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
Line 38: <add assembly="CrystalDecisions.ReportSource, Version=10.2.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692FBEA5521E1304"/>
Now - I have copied ALL of the files including all dlls. from Inetpub down, from the existing server to the new server.   I notice that in addition to Crystal 11 .Net Server, I have something called simply "Crystal Runtime" on the existing server.   When I click support information in Control Panel it says version 1.0.0 but when I click on "Repair", it tries to find a source file called CrystalXIRuntime.msi.   I cannot find this anywhere.
Im thinking I need to install this or register some of the dlls on the new server.
I am desparate to get this going. Can anyone help me with this dilema?

Hello Michael,
please download and install the [CR XI server install|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006009122008E/crXI_server_install.zip] on your new server.
This should fix the problem.
Anyway, I strongly recommend [to update to CR XI R2|http://resources.businessobjects.com/support/additional_downloads/service_packs/crxir2.asp] for free and to continue with this product release.
Best regards
Falk

Restoring DPMDB 2012 SP1 to a New Server

Greetings,
I am in the middle of moving primary DPM servers. This was not for the purpose of upgrading DPM. We were running DPM 2012 SP1 on Server 2012, using a remote instance of SQL 2012. Now, I am moving to a new DPM server (using DPM 2012 SP1
on Server 2012) using a local instance of SQL 2012 and trying to restore the DPMDB
Steps I have taken so far:
-Performed a backup of the DPMDB using DPMBackup. The backup completed successfully.
-Gave the new server the same name as the old server (call it DPM1)
-Gave it the same IP address
-Removed old server from AD/network
-Copied the DPMDB.bak file created by DPMBackup to the new DPM server.
-Installed SQL 2012 and updates
-Installed DPM 2012 SP1 and updates. (4.1.3417.0). I did NOT however, install DPM in the default location. I installed it to E:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012...
-Attached the SAN that the old DPM server was using to the new one. All disks are intact.
My problem comes when I try to run the DPMSync.exe utility. It crashes when I type in the following command from an elevated prompt:
DPMSync -restoredb -dbloc E:\DPMDB\DPMDB.bak
I receive the following error(s):
Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.FailedOperationException: Restore failed for Server 'DPM1\DPM'. ---> Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common.ExecutionFailureException:

The bolded parts are the parts that confuse me. I never specified a restore to that location. The "D" drive is my DVD drive on the server. The only thing that I can figure is that it is trying to use the drive letter from the
old server. However, I haven't ran across any documentation when using this tool that I had to name my drives identical to the old server, just the machine name. I also named the databases the same as well. I tried specifying a database name
using -DpmDbName, but that didn't work either.
I'm certain I'm missing something, but I have no idea what it is. Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
-Mike

Hi,
You can use SQL Management Studio to restore the database, and under the OPTIONS settings, change the path to the files. When you do the restore the files will be placed in the path specified. If you wish to overwrite the current DB
files, be sure to select the overwrite option.

Error when installing to a new server

I get the following error when attempting to install SunOne 6.1 SP2:
ERROR: The directory /drivelocation/SunWebSrv already exists and might contain pre-4.0 Sun ONE servers. Installing into an existing pre-4.0 server root is not supported. Choose another server root.
The server is a new server without any existing versions of iPlanet or SunOne installed on the server. The location we are attempting to install to is its own drive mount on the Solaris system with only the directory "lost+found" located in the folder. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening or know of a possible workaround for this?
Thanks!

The problem is that you're trying to install to a non-empty directory. Web Server requires its own directory all to itself. Either remove the lost+found directory before starting the installer or tell the installer to install to a subdirectory.
