Title: Running Software installer tool on Windows 8.1
Post by: dutch_tuga on March 03, 2014, 11:14:09 AM
Hi,

did anyone already done a upgrade of an 3300 system using windows 8 or 8.1 as operating system. I am wondering if it works.

I was testing it, but I am not able to login the MCD system from the software installer tool. As soon as I try to login I receive a error. "The 3300 is either starting up or shutting down, and the MiXML interface is not currently available".

I am using the latest SI that comes with version MCD 6.0 SP3.

I am having the feeling that it has to do with with windows version. I have tried to change the compability mode to windows 7 or XP, but it doesn't make any difference.

I had that issue on my first upgrade with Windows 8.1, but my second and third have gone just fine.

Have you changed anything on your system? Or has this to do with the current MCD version of system?

I am running the latest Java version, some how it seems a Java issue.

Like I said, it happened on the first of three upgrades that I did for customers. I ended up doing a manual load and restore for that first one, and when it worked for the second and third that I've done so far, I didn't look into it any further.

In the past I would say that it has something to do with the version that you either upgrading from or that the system you're upgrading is in some kind of unknown state. But I don't have any proof of that.

Just to confirm that the upgrade went fine. At first I had the same error message again. I restarted my computer and after that I was able to connect to the Mitel and do the upgrade. The upgrade was successful and I have encountered no issues.

Thanks for you input.
