Anyone attempt to upgrade from 4.1.x to 4.1.2?

We are on a clean MT 4.1.1 installation and tried to upgrade to version 4.1.2 using the metatagger412Build64930.exe executable. Unfortunately after the installer started working we received the following error message and the installer shut down:
A version of MetaTagger is currently installed on this system. Current installation terminating. Please consult the MetaTagger documentation for installation instructions for MetaTagger 4.1.2.

After the installer quit, I verified that MT 4.1.1 is still installed and working (bug 35794 in the Release Notes says it can uninstall the current version).

After reviewing the Installation Guide and Release Notes, I can't find anything specific regarding upgrading from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2.

I do have a support case open about this but have yet to hear anything back.

Just wondering if anyone has successfully installed 4.1.2 yet on a 4.1.x machine.

Could you refer to page 69 in mt_412_admin_v01_en.pdf for upgrading. The installler doesn't upgrade an existing MT installation. The steps are

1. Backup your $MT_HOME/conf
2. Uninstall existing MT
3. Install new MT
4. Copy over your taxonomies to new $MT_HOME/conf
* Do NOT copy/overwrite $MT_HOME/conf/lang

Yes, I did read the section on "Upgrading from 4.0".

However, I'm trying to go from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and there is nothing in the MetaTagger Installation and Administration Guide, Release Notes, or a KB article that covers that specific scenario. As a dot release, I would hope that I do not need to uninstall 4.1.1 and install 4.1.2.

Same process. Save your ../conf, deinstall, install, replace conf.

Thanks. And while I'm sure that will work, I'll post the official answer from support once provided.

Uninstall/reinstall is such a bad upgrade path for a dot release. Smiley Sad

BTW, it's case 1251594 if you want to supply the "official" steps.

Will uninstall and reinstall per IWOV Support. Sigh...

As a result of this exercise, I filed the following feature request, #71609:
The MetaTagger installer should be able to just apply the updates necessary
like the TeamSite and OpenDeploy installers rather than forcing the uninstall/reinstall.

Please contact IWOV Support and add your companies' name if interested in this feature.
