I have a weird problem.  When I upgraded to 03.01.06 i didn't notice but it left the old GRM3 version installed.  I tried uninstalling it but it kills all of my pages that have it (Think G*D for backups).  Is there any clan way to remove the old version without loosing all of my files?

yes there is, but it involves using something like Enterprise Manager / SQL Query Analyzer to do some direct record manipulation.

0. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST :)

1. look at your ModuleDefinitions table to get the ModuleDefId's for the old 'Gooddogs...' modules, and the ModuleDefId's for the new 'Repository..' modules.

2. For purposes of this example, let's say the old Gooddogs Repository had a ModuleDefId of 89, and the new Repository module has a ModuleDefId of 101. Now, go thru your Modules table and for any module that has a ModuleDefId of 89 .. change it to 101. ( eg: "update Modules set ModuleDefId=101 where ModuleDefId=89" ). Then remove the same records, ModuleDefId=89, from the ModuleControls table and the DesktopModules table.

3. Do the same thing for the Dashboard module.

4. The old Gooddogs repository and dashboard are now 'disconnected' and can be removed. You can delete the old Gooddogs Repository entry and Gooddogs Dashboard entries from your ModuleDefinitions table.

5. Last step is to delete the Gooddogs.*.dll files from your /bin folder.

Thanks Steve,
After step 2 can't I just do a remove from the modules screen?

Thanks

Rick,
The problem with doing a remove from the Modules page is that doing so will execute the uninstall sql script for the module and result in your tables and stored procedures being deleted.  :)

Thanks Steve,
That is great to know.  I will just finish the steps you said then.
