Upgrading Local Workstation Service software

There are three ways to upgrade the Local Workstation Service:

  • Running the hipamlws*.msi installer and going through the wizard pages.

    This will look like a normal Local Workstation Service installation, where the server, proxy, initial delay and custom attribute file settings are retained.

  • Running hipamlws*.msi via command line (details below).

  • Uninstall the old client and install the new client with the Re-register this workstation option selected in the Advanced settings.

Upgrading Local Workstation Service software via command line

To upgrade Local Workstation Service software via command line:

  1. Download the Local service mode software MSI and drop a copy of the idmsetup.inf file into the same folder before continuing install (as idmsetup.inf will feed required information to the LWS installer).

  2. Ensure that idmsetup.inf contains the correct SERVER property

  3. Open a command prompt, change to the download folder, then use msiexec to perform the upgrade (see examples below).

Command line examples for upgrade

Upgrade and propagate all supported property values from a previous installation:

msiexec /l*v upgrade.log /i hipamlws-win-x64.msi REINSTALLMODE=amus ADDLOCAL=ALL UPGRADE=ALL

Upgrade and propagate all supported property values except INITIAL_POLL_DELAY and PROXY from a previous installation:

msiexec /l*v upgrade.log /i hipamlws-win-x64.msi REINSTALLMODE=amus ADDLOCAL=ALL UPGRADE=ALL IGNORE_EXISTING_INITIAL_POLL_DELAY="1" IGNORE_EXISTING_PROXY="1"

Upgrade and propagate all supported property values except INITIAL_POLL_DELAY. For INITIAL_POLL_DELAY, specify a new value (55 seconds):

msiexec /l*v upgrade.log /i hipamlws-win-x64.msi REINSTALLMODE=amus ADDLOCAL=ALL UPGRADE=ALL INITIAL_POLL_DELAY="55"
