Can't update to 2018.1

[GPVS]

I have tried now on numerous occassions to do the update to 2018.1.

I have tried off the reminder notice when you log in.

I have tried through my.Myob. - at least here I had to accept terms, it went through et up process and then said it was all done.

Have rebooted but still on 2017.1

What is going on ????   never had this trouble before.

Can someone please help

Thanks

Hi @GPVS

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble updating to AccountRight 2018.1.

If you are having trouble I would recommend downloading the installer from your my.MYOB account. You will need to select My Products>>Downloads after logging in. Do ensure that if you are given the option to save the installer to your Downloads folder before running it from there.

When installing that program, if you do encounter an error do take note of that error and when exactly it does occur so we can investigate further.

Hi Steven

I did as you suggested and ran the installer.

The following message came up right at the end.  I have attached at a file.

What do I need to do now ??

Hi @GPVS

The message you have supplied indicates that the program has been installed successfully. Although there is a problem with the configuration of the AccountRight Server service (one of the key Window Services that is required for AccountRight Server Edition). Help Article: AccountRight server services issues will go through the process of correcting that allowing AccountRight 2018.1 to be used successfully on that computer.

Hi Steven

I have been able to downloading the Zip file to the desktop, but can't get any further.  Is there someone who I can talk too because this is beyond me.

I have never had problems before.

Thanks

Hi @GPVS

Judging by the fact that you have downloaded a zip file you would be up to Step 4: Add the missing "Huxely.Server.WindowsService.exe.config" file. on that Support Note. The process from here would be:

1. To extract that file, this is either done by right-clicking on the downloaded file and select Extract All or double-clicking on the zip folder, so you can see the contents and dragging that out to another location/copy and pasting it.
   
   
2. Once that has been extracted, it would need to be copied and pasted into the relevant folder location before attempting to restart that service.
