<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I Have a customer with an old Windows 2012 server with Cisco TMS 15.4.4 installed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are wanting to migrate to a new Server 2019 and SQL Express 2017.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The install and upgrade guide says to install the current version first, restore the database and then upgrade to TMS 15.11.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem is, is that TMS 15.4.4 says it won’t install because dotnet 4.5 is not installed. However Windows server 2019 comes with dotnet 4.7 installed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s supposed to be compatible with versions down to 4.0 however TMS fails the validation and doesn’t install.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is a bunch of published bugs and the work-around is to uninstall dotnet 4.7 and then install 4.5. However this doesn’t work and basically screws up the system and then you have to use DISM to re-install dotnet.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone ever seen this and has a suggestion on how to get TMS 15.4.4 to install? Or to get dotnet 4.5 to install? Dotnet 4.5 / or 4.0 won’t install because it says 4.7 is installed.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers<o:p></o:p></p>
