You must use the full installer if you are upgrading from a Beta version of Micromine 2014 Service Pack 6. (The patch can't upgrade from a Beta.)

I downloaded the patch for 32 bit windows. I ran the exe file and, it did the usual check for space, appeared to be doing an install and then suddenly ended, with no message to say the installation had completed. When I started MICROMINE and checked, it still claimed to be sp 5 with a build from back in August. Tried running the patch a second time and got the same result. Any idea what's up?


I'm running a fully updated version of Windows 10.

Hi Peter, if you were on a Beta build you'll need to request a download for the full installer.

I'm having the same problem with 64 bit version on Windows 8 - MM says it is now Version 15.0.5 Build 697 - I don't think it's a beta ?

Hi Frank:


What do you mean by a beta build? I was a beta tester for v14, way back when (2 years?), but surely the sp5 that is now installed isn't a beta?


My installation history looks like this:


Micromine_2014_32bit_RTM_Full_Install.exe (2014-06-19)

Micromine_2014_Service_Pack_1__32bit_Update.exe (2014-09-10)
Micromine_2014_Service_Pack_2__32bit_Update.exe (2014-11-04)
Micromine_2014_Service_Pack_3__32bit_Update.exe (2014-12-02)
Micromine_2014_Service_Pack_4__32bit_Update.exe (2015-03-09)
Micromine_2014_Service_Pack_5__32bit_Update.exe (2015-08-18)
Micromine_2014_Service_Pack_6__32bit_Update.exe (2015-12-09 - failed)

@Peter, @Lynn, can you please confirm if you're using the patch or the full installer. The patch can be downloaded directly from our website, whereas you must request a link for the full installer.


@Peter, I was referring to a Beta that you might have been issued for SP 6. It would have been within the last few months if you had, so from your response I gather you are not using a Beta. :)


We are investigating the problem and will send some diagnostic instructions once we know what kind of upgrade you're performing.


Frank

Frank, I'm using the file at the end of the installation history that I added to my previous post. It's the patch.

Gents,


Can you please open a command prompt from the folder containing the downloaded patch file (Shift+right-click within the folder in File Explorer and choose Open command window here) and issue this command (use "64" in the appropriate place if you're installing 64-bit MM):


Micromine_2014_Service_Pack_6__32bit_Update /LOG /LOGFILE log.txt

The log file will be written to that folder; please send it back to us so we can see where things are going wrong. If you'd rather not upload it to the forum you can send it to support@micromine.com.


Hi Frank - log file is below

We've identified the problem and we intend to re-issue the service pack on Monday. The new patch will contain exactly the same MM update as now; only the installer will be modified.


Meanwhile, the best workaround is to obtain the full installer from our website, which is immune to any problems that might affect a patch.


This problem only affects people who used a patch to update their previous MM version to service pack 5. If you used the full installer to upgrade to SP 5 then you won't have any problems upgrading to SP 6.

Hi every one

Just to let you know that i got link / full installed and not any problem at all, nice a quickly.

Regards Reso

Hello Everyone,


We have re-released the Micromine 2014 Service Pack 6 update.


If you weren't able to install Service Pack 6 and didn't try downloading the full installer, please download Service Pack 6 from http://www.micromine.com/downloads at your convenience. If for any reason you still can't install the service pack then please use the full installer.


If you were previously able to install Service Pack 6 (using the patch or the full installer) then you don't need to do anything.


Apologies for the inconvenience.


Regards,


Frank Bilki
