Parallel Installation of v4 with v2.5?

Post by jamon »

I have Commercial Webinator v2.5 running on NT. I'd like to
install Commercial Webinator v4 and have it running in parallel, so that the switch from old to new can be as transparent as possible. The installation instructions say that a Webinator directory will be created under the specified html root. I'd like to better understand what will happen when I do the parallel installation. It looks as though old and new files will be mixed up in the same directory. ?? Can I be sure that the old stuff won't be broken by the process?

The new installation will overlay the old. It will to preserve your existing search script and databases. gw.exe will be replaced as will texis.exe but the new versions should work with your old data.

As with any software upgrade it is wise to backup your existing programs and scripts before installing the new.
