Winframe 1.x not detected by Terminal Server 4.0 for Upgrade (192233)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
This article was previously published under Q192233 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to upgrade Citrix Winframe 1.7 to Windows NT Server 4.0,
Terminal Server Edition, Winframe 1.7 may not be detected on the computer.
A fresh install will be the only option presented.
CAUSE
Registry inconsistencies may cause Terminal Server to ignore the Winframe
installation from being upgraded.
RESOLUTION
There is a utility (Regfix.exe) in the Support\Regfix folder that can
repair some instances of registry (hive) inconsistencies.
This utility will repair a Windows NT 3.51 or a Citrix WinFrame 1.x
registry file so that you can upgrade that installation to Windows Terminal
Server.
usage: regfix inputfilename outputfilename
inputfilename - the name of the registry file to process
ouputfilename - the name for the updated registry file
Detailed Informaton:
To run Regfix.exe, you will have to run it from another Windows NT
installation so that you can safely modify the registry file. Here is the
procedure to follow:
- If you do not have one already, you will have to install Windows NT to
another partition.
- Boot the system to an alternate Windows NT partition.
- Change to the WinFrame\system32\config directory of the WinFrame (or
Windows NT 3.51) partition to be updated:
cd \winframe\system32\config - Rename the software hive to software.sav:
ren software software.sav - Fix the registry file (assuming that d: is your CD-ROM drive):
d:\support\regfix\regfix software.sav software - Restart the Windows Terminal Server upgrade.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Server 4.0,
Terminal Server Edition. We are researching this problem and will post
additional information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
