Upgrade from 10.2.700.x

Kinetic ERP
1

Hi, i am trying to upgrade our on premise Demo Database to Kinetic but during the initial install the application is forcing the install path to C:\Epicor\ERP11 when our 10.2.700 instance is on E:\Epicor\ERP10 and there is no manual way to change this install path. Is there anyone who has managed to get this path to change?

Also, I am pushed to EpicWeb for upgrade documentation but there is nothing from 10 to 11 just a fresh install guide and an upgrade from 9 to 11. Does anyone have an upgrade guide?

You can’t type into that field from memory, but you can choose another path using the browse button. Browse to drive E:, and then it creates a folder called Epicor, and another inside called ERP11 automatically.

@Ricky90 I found a PDF called Kinetic Release Upgrade Guide - Epicor 10 to Kinetic2021.1.x.pdf. Should be on Epicweb - probably in the release’s download area. If you can’t find it, PM your email and I’ll send it over to you.

I was looking in the wrong place. Thank you u have found it.

There still doesn’t seem to be a browse button anywhere

The next screen is just confirmation and start the installer.

I think it’s doing that because you’ve already gone part way through the installer with the incorrect path. Probably a registry setting somewhere been set.

We typically do installs using the client installation parameters, which give us the ability to set defaults to whatever we like.

  • “/s” initiates the silent install
  • “Silent” confirms the use of the silent install
  • “Desktopico” indicates if the installer creates Desktop icons
  • “SilentInstalls” is the folder name where the shortcuts will be copied
  • “TargetDir” is the install directory for the client
  • “ServerLoc” is the deployment where to pull the client

Example:

"\\epicorapp1\ERP11.1.100.0Deployment\ClientInstaller\KineticClient.exe" /s SILENT="YES" DESKTOPICO="TRUE" SILENTINSTALLS="EpicorERP on epicorapp1!NEWLINE!" TARGETDIR=c:\Epicor\ERP SERVERLOC="\\epicorapp1\ERP11.1.100.0Deployment"

Note that the KB article: KB0043713

States that, as of ERP 10.2.500, the Cloud client installer does not support the silent install process and needs to be manually installed per the install instructions.
