Upgrade to 8.3.9/8.3.10 failed

[midas001]

Hi all,

Everytime I try up upgrade from 8.3.4 to 8.3.9 or 8.3.10 i get this message:

"An error occured during the installation of assembly. Policy.8.0. Microsoft.VC80.CRT ,puplicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b", type="win32-policy..." yadda, yadda, It is very long.

Any ideas on what I need to do in order to update? I checked on line and most solutions go back to installing C++ SP1. I already have Visual Studio 2008 SP1 installed and updated.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Bill S

If you're already on an 8.3.x version, sometimes uninstalling the version you're on, then using the full 8.3.9 (or 8.3.10) installer will work properly where Upgrade.bat will fail, so please give that a try.

Thanks! I will post what happens later.

The instal of 8.4.3 went fine but now how do i import all the data? I downloaded the 2,279 page manual and it seems the SQL dump is the most reliable method. Had iknown that before I uninstalled 8.3.4...

Anyway I will keep looking around here and online for a solution...

If you had 8.3.x before then you can only 'upgrade' to another 8.3.y version. To go to 8.4.z you need to backup/restore your databases.
The best thing to do now will be to uninstall 8.4 and install the latest 8.3.x version, following the same guide.

Thanks for the reply Whiterider but here is what I ended up doing last night...

I uninstalled 8.3.4 then installed 8.4.3. At first I could not find out how to import/restore until I created a new database. I then restored/imported my old database into the new one using PGAdminIII. PT3 would not recognize the new database. I then deleted the new database using PGAdminIII and removed any databases listed in PT3 using database maintenance. After closing and reopening PT3 I was then prompted to create a new database. After creating the new database I then manually imported all my hand histories (only about 100000 hands) from my back up drive. I started importing all the hands last night right before I went to bed. This morning I set up "me" and my alias(s) and all I need to do now is maintenance then play some poker when I get home from work today!

Hope this helps anyone going through this same process.

Thanks for the update - that works too. :)

A final word for this thread...

I played in a couple SnG's last night and all is working great!! I have not played any cash yet but if I do have any problems i will follow up. I do not forsee any issues since all seems to be working quite well!

Good luck at the tables all!
