Title: MISMATCH OF EVO ENGINES
Post by carolg on 10/03/11 at 14:14:57

Here is message I get when trying to load EVO. I can get past it and into EVO OK, but this message comes up every time I try and get into EVO. I hate to try reloading anything with EVO.

There is a mismatching of Evo engines on this machine. Please re-run the workstation setup by running Start-Run, g:\Evoerp.exe g:\.

Simply copy the EVOERP.EXE from the server DBAMFG folder to the C:\ISTS folder on the workstation

I know this is an older post, but I'm having this same problem after applying the latest update. I have tried copying the evoerp.exe file from the server, and I've reinstalled Evo, but neither one help. Will this affect the data being entered or requested? Should I rerun the update? Not sure what to do at this point...

Have you try this:

X:\DBAMFG\EvoERP.exe X:\DBAMFG

Manually copy the EVOERP.EXE and TP7RUNTIME.EXE from the server DBAMFG (or EVOERP) folder to the local C:\ISTS folder. They should match, one is simply a copy of the other.

Yes, I did that, it gave me an error that the Tp7rtsetup.exe did not copy properly. There was no one else using Evo, I had made sure everyone was off and rebooted the server to be sure. I tried right-clicking the file on the server and run as Adminstrator, it's still giving me the errors.

I did that also, Lynn...it stills give me the mismatch. Will this affect the way it posts information??

What if I replace the root files with the backup...not the company files, could that bring us back to the previous working version? Or will that cause more problems? I'm grasping at straws here and trying not to shoot off the hip! :P

The update could have modify the evoerp.exe . If you are going to restore from backup.
What I would do is to get a copy from some one else that is on the same version.
My guess is that your .exe files are corrupt

What version are you?? Help, about....

I am on R6 :'(

Have you try to reinstall the update? It will not do more harm .....

Also some installers can be open with a zip software like 7-Zip, once open you can extract the .exe

Not yet, I'm in a major meeting about some of the problems...That was my next thought.

BTW

Don't install updates on your live server.
Get Virtualbox, setup a winxp machine copy your data and apply all the patches you need there.

Virtualbox is free, easy to setup and use.

Oracle VM VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/

Also it is time to upgrade your pervasive. Get version 10 before is off the market !!! (11 is just a waste of money ;D )

Well, funny you should mention that...I used VMware last April when the update failed and took down our server then. I do a lot of testing inside my virtual machines, but I wasn't sure if there were registry entries or Windows files that I perhaps might be missing when I did that...so I did this update on the machine at night, watching over it using my remote access.

I don't believe you can run the update on the server you need to run it from a workstation.

could be wrong

You can run it on the server so long as you have (and you finally have) advanced from Windows NT 4.0.
