How to forcefully reinstall an iManager patch on Windows

Attempts to reinstall an iManager patch fails with the following message:

 

iManager is already up to date on your environment,

The installer has detected a higher/same version of patch 2 on your system.

 

The steps to force the patch installer to complete regardless of the version already in place are as follows:

 

1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the following directory:

<extracted path> iManager277_Patch2_Windows\Windows

 

2. Load the install.properties file into notepad:

notepad install.properties

 

3. Uncomment the statements "FORCE_INSTALL_MODE=true".  Example:

###iManager Server

INSTALLER_UI=silent

FORCE_INSTALL_MODE=true

 

##iManager Workstation

#INSTALLER_UI=silent

#USER_INSTALL_DIR=<UNZIPPED_WORKSTATION_FOLDER>/imanager/tomcat

FORCE_INSTALL_MODE=true

 

4. Run the following command from the same command line window:

patchInstallWin.exe -i silent -f install.properties

 

Once the installation reports it has completed and the command window it had opened is closed, Tomcat and iManager are ready to service requests.
