Upgrading MetaDefender Kiosk
As of Kiosk 4.5.5, upgrading no longer requires uninstallation of an existing version. The installer can now be ran with a Kiosk already installed.
As a critical issue with login via AD authentication, Kiosk 4.6.0 was removed and unable to be upgraded in place. To ugrade to the latest version from the currrent Kiosk 4.6.0, the following actions should be followed:
- Remove folder Log in the installation folder
- Generate support package from Web management console
- Uninstall Kiosk 4.6.0
- Install the latest version
- Configure Kiosk again from the begining. The support package at step #2 can be utilized to verify the settings if the Kiosk admin forgets some points. Or contact OPSWAT Support for more details.
Upgrade to a new version of Kiosk by running its installer using one of the following methods:
Installing Kiosk without uninstalling the previous version helps all configurations, workflow settings, and session history retained.
On manual uninstallation, session history will be lost and not retained after the installation of a new version.
Upgrading from an old version (4.3.X) might cause the Management Console to be inaccessible. A system restart should make it work.
