Creating a Versions.new file

The file is most conveniently created using the Remote Service Tool; see application examples Installing software versions and Listing and modifying software versions. The Remote Service Tool also copies the file to its location on the CMU’s internal hard disk (C:\INTERNAL\INSTALL) so that it will be executed when the VersionManager is started.

Alternatively, the file can be created manually and copied to the C:\INTERNAL\INSTALL directory or to the root directory of a PCMCIA card/floppy disk.

Restrictions

The information in the Versions.new file must be unambiguous: Only one software configuration with 1 base system software can be installed at once. Alternatively, the file may list several network options to be combined with an already installed, compatible base system version.

Only one software configuration can be active, however, several configurations can be deleted together. To avoid errors, it is recommended to use different files for installation and deletion/activation.
