For details on how to upgrade the Connect License see Users of Connect prior to 2019.1 in Connect's
Online Help.
Always backup before upgrading
It is recommended that you always backup your existing Workflow files and preferences before upgrad-
ing to a new version. This will enable you to revert back to the previous version, in a worst case scen-
ario in which the new version introduces issues with your existing production processes. Whilst the
probability of such a worst case scenario is remote, it cannot hurt to take some simple precautions, just
in case.
For instructions on how to do so, please see "Backup existing Workflow version" on page24.
Using the PlanetPress Connect Workflow installer
Starting the installer
The PlanetPress Connect Workflow installer will be supplied as a single executable file.
Navigate to the PlanetPress_Workflow_2022.2.3.nnnn_bnnn.exe and double-click on it. After a
short pause the Setup Wizard will appear as a guide through the installation steps.
Note: Workflow requires prior installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5. For a full list of other
prerequisites, see Installation Prerequisites in Connect's Online Help.
Running the installation with extra logging
The installer can be run with enhanced logging options, if needed.
To do so, run the Setup executable from the command line with one of the following command line
options:
l
PlanetPress_Workflow_2022.2.3.nnnn_bnnn.exe –verbose
This adds extra debugging style logging to the installation process.
l
PlanetPress_Workflow_2022.2.3.nnnn_bnnn.exe --trace
This adds full trace style logging to the installation process. The log file this produces will be very
large, as this option logs everything.
Selecting the required components
After the installer Wizard initializes, the first step is to choose a language for the installation.
If there are any missing prerequisites, the program will indicate that it must install them prior to con-
tinuing. It may also ask you to reboot your server after installing those missing prerequisites.
After clicking Next the End User License Agreement will be displayed, which needs to be read and
accepted before clicking Next.
