I wanted to upgrade one of our development machines from WSAD 5.1.1 to 5.1.2, but when I removed the program, I received a NullPointerException in the GUI and a stack trace 11 that mentioned PureJavaProductServiceImpl. (I no longer have the stack trace, because some cowboy removed it manually and deleted the registry keys. I'm chopping off his fingers shortly.)
In any case, I found a workaround in the documentation that lets you install 5.1.2 without checking for old versions. I can't use it now, but FYI it's running setup.exe in the installation Disc 1 with the option "-W RemoveOldProduct.active=false".
So eventually 5.1.2 was installed, and I attempted to install the Portal Toolkit 5.0.2.2, but it hangs after it starts the WAS server (about 16%) and gives a SocketConnect exception. I decided to try it again with a clean install of WSAD 5.1.2, but cannot uninstall that either!
Sorry this is so long, but has anyone come across any of this behavior? (WSAD uninstall issues or Portal Toolkit install freezing)
Thanks in advance!
