Upgrading from Asset v1 to v2 (rectifying a failed update)

[Spoon]

Occasionally upgrading from Asset v1 to Asset v2 fails in Windows Home Server when clicking the update to version 2.x.x button.

A failed update would be shown as the version number shown as Release xx.xx, follow these steps to rectify the install:

Open a remote desktop connection to the WHS machine, from your PC select Start >> Programs >> Accessories >> Remote Desktop Connection, log in with the Administrator user name (and password when setting up WHS, if using a RipNAS the password is printed underneath the RipNAS).

From the remote desktop (ie on the desktop of the WHS box), select Start >> Control Panel >> Add / Remove Programs

Uninstall the existing Asset UPnP install (both entries).

Copy the v2 .msi install to the WHS box (to the software network share), then in the remote desktop move the install from the software network share to C:\

Run the Asset v2 install.
