Thread: Upgrade.bat does nothing for 1.16.0
Many thanks to the PgAdmin team for their years-long dedication to providing a top-notch end-user grahical tool for PostgreSQL. I normally simply run the MSI file to upgrade from one version to the next. This time, I decided to try the supplied upgrade.bat to see what if anything it did differently; I thought maybe it provided a hands-free upgrade. Unfortunately, it didn't do anything for me (Windows 7 64-bit, current on all updates.) I ran it, and it showed the setup program. I got the popup from Windows asking me if I wanted to allow this program to make changes to my computer. Once I clicked Ok, the setup window did something for about 3 more seconds and closed. When I started PgAdmin from the start menu, version 1.14 was still installed. -- Guy Rouillier

You cannot upgrade from 1.14 to 1.16 - different major versions will always install side-by-side. The upgrade script allows you to upgrade a minor version, for example, from 1.16.0-beta4 to 1.16.0, or 1.16.1 to 1.16.2. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

That's odd, why does upgrade.bat say this then: echo You must have pgAdmin III v1.14.x installed echo from the official MSI installation to use this upgrade path. -- Guy Rouillier

Noone remembered to update it from the last release :-(. It's done now (for 1.16.1) - sorry for the confusion. -- Dave Page Blog: http://pgsnake.blogspot.com Twitter: @pgsnake EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
