Question: How do I reinstall Foxhound?
Answer:
Note: A successful installation overwrites existing files. It is your responsibility to
make a backup of your existing Foxhound installation if you want one. The simplest way to make a complete
backup is to stop the Foxhound engine, then make a copy of the entire Foxhound1 folder and subfolders...
do this BEFORE installing the new version of Foxhound. Here is where the folder is located on Windows XP and Vista:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound1
C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1
To reinstall Foxhound, just run the InstallShield setup you have received. What you do next depends on which dialog box appears...
If you see this dialog box, you can proceed with the reinstallation:
When the InstallShield process reaches the end, click on the Post-Setup button to continue the installation.
This part is critical; if you don't let the post-setup process run, the old installation of Foxhound will not
be replaced:
This is what the post-setup process looks like. The registration status (Beta, Evaluation, Full) of your
current Foxhound database is copied over to the new one, as well as other settings and all the Monitor
samples that have been gathered:
If you see this dialog box, you have to run the Foxhound "unsetup" process first
and then run the Foxhound InstallShield setup:
For more information about running the Foxhound unsetup process, see
Another version of this product is already installed.
If you see this dialog box, click on Remove to run the Foxhound "unsetup" process, and then run the Foxhound InstallShield setup.
Do not click on Modify or Repair; they won't damage anything, but nothing will happen when you click on the Post-Setup
button at the end of Modify or Repair process:
Caution: If you are using the Windows Vista Task Scheduler to take regular backups of your Foxhound database using
the technique described here,
you should reboot your computer after installing a new version of Foxhound; see
The $backup_foxhound1.bat file looked for a path specification in the FOXHOUND1 environment variable and it was empty.
