To v8 upgrade, alternative location

[b.vanhaastrecht]

Hi,

We have a minor issue with the v8 installer (downloaded on the 24th of november).

v7 was installed on an alternative location. After the upgrade to v8, all existing components have upgraded in that location exept for the ActiveDirectoryExplorer. It's installed in the Windows default Program Files location.

I do not see a referending registry key to manualy correct this. We would like to move these components to our alternative location.

Known issue? Havent created support ticket yet.

Regards,
Bastiaan

You might want to dig deep into installation .iso directly to \Explorers folder. Copy VeeamExplorerForActiveDirectory.msi and install it on whatever machine you want to; should do the trick. Thanks.

Hi Vladimir, yes that did it.

I run the VeeamExplorerForActiveDirectory.msi, this removed it from the default Program Files location. Ran it again, and installed to the alternative location, and it works. Thanks again!

You're welcome. Should other help be needed, feel free to ask. Thanks.

After the upgrade to v8, all existing components have upgraded in that location exept for the ActiveDirectoryExplorer.

Active Directory Explorer was never a part of v7 to start with. It was a beta that we have released much later, and it used a separate installer.

True, perhaps I did not explain it well. I ment that the installer upgrades any existing component in its orogininal location. But the new ActiveDirectoryExplorer somehow ended up in the windows dedault Program Files location. As fas as i know, the beta version was never installed on this server.

Bastiaan, if beta was never installed on the server, the behavior looks unexpected, so I've passed this thread to QC for further reproduction and addressing. Thanks for reporting.
