Access old version (4.4 Standard) after upgrade to 2021 Advanced

  • 1.  Access old version (4.4 Standard) after upgrade to 2021 Advanced

    Posted 10-29-2021 14:17

    Client is live on v2021 Advanced. I built them an icon to launch v4.4 Standard (MAS90 mode) using a mapped drive.  When I launch it, or even navigate through Windows and launch pvxwin32.exe without using an icon, i get the message "Unable to create a Session object.  The workstation may have been corrupted.  Re-install Workstation Setup."  I can create a text file in the \MASV440\MAS\90\Home\Lib\Keys folder.  Thoughts?

    What's the full path of the target in the shortcut?  Your screen shot only displays the first portion.

    This is what a shortcut looks like for an old 4.4 install I have.
    C:\Sage\MAS440\MAS90\Home\pvxwin32.exe -hd ..\launcher\sota.ini ..\soa\startup.m4p

    Make sure you have full control to the share including sub-folders, and no files are marked as "Read Only".

    The path I specified may be for 3.71 not 4.4.

    @Doug Higgs, the path you supplied results in a different message:

    @Kevin Moyes full control - check.  No read only files - check.  Still no love.

    Did you try the old autorun / workstation setup and WksUpdate?  It could be an old pre-req is missing from the machine.

    I have a test workstation.  I ran WKSETUP for 4.4.  It didn't install any prerequisites, but I can now run both versions.  I re-ran wksetup for v2021 also, and confirmed I can run and print documents out of both.  By the way, UAC blocked me from running  wksupdate90.exe, but I think I'm good.  I always hesitate to run 2 versions on the same workstation, but probably because 4.4 is so old, I'm not experiencing any conflicts.  Thank You!

    I believe you have an incorrect startup path.  Try this  "G:\MASV440\MAS90\Home\pvxwin32.exe" ..\Launcher\Sota.ini ..\SOA\mas90
