PDMWORKS 2007->2008
PDMWORKS 2007->2008
(OP)
Well after installing 2008 we have been dead in the water now for about 24 hours and counting.
I got a 1720 error, and this is what the var said to do:
"the error message is due to IIS
1. Go to Add and Remove Programs and uninstall the Web Portal and go to the IIS Services and delete the pdmweb folder if the uninstall did not delete it.
2. Modify the PDMWorks server install and make sure that there is no red X in front of the Web Portal and now reinstall.
3. If you are still getting this Error 1720 make sure you don not have IIS Lockdown running. If you do you need to turn it off and install the Web Portal again."
Well I did not have any of that installed so I called the VAR again. This is the next set of directions:
"Per our conversation you are going to back up your vault; un-install the PDMWorks Server and re-install PDMWorks Server 2008.
As I mentioned, this was will be resolved in SP1.0, but this is the work around SW tech support is providing."
So I backed up the vaultdata folder and re-installed. After it was re-installed I overwrote the new vault data with the original files.
At this point I have lost all of my settings, and our projects are not showing up in the vault. I know there is something in the folder since it is about 2GB.
Right now the VAR is working directly with solidworks on getting this resolved.
Anybody else have this problem?

RE: PDMWORKS 2007->2008
This issue has been reported in SPR 396380 ("Error 1720 installing PDMWorkGroup Server 2008SP0 as an upgrade to a PDMWorks Server 2007Sp4.01 vault"). and it is fixed in the development version of SW2008SP1
To workaround this problem first uninstall the existing PDMWorks Server, then install a new PDMWorks server at version 2008 referencing the original data files.

One thing I have noticed is that solidworks does not clean out the registry when you remove it. So the problem was with the registry, I had to modify where it was pointing.

The SolidWorks Uninstall Utility from http://www.engatech.com/support_dc.asp does a good job.
