Need to reinstall Geo software, how do I backup settings?

Recommended Posts

Searching for geovision backup seems to pull up everything on geovision whether or not it has backup in it...

 

I get a weird error on one server when loading Geo 7.0.x software, it says 'START SERVER FAILED'. I posted about this a long time ago and conclusion was to reinstall - just getting to it now.

 

What files need to be backed up so I don't have to reconfigure later? I am going to do a full uninstall/reinstall of the 7.0.5 software because installing on top of itself didn't help with the error.

 

Thanks!

oh nice, never thought to look in the sticky thread.

 

So to export the settings, would all I have to do is put the export path of (c:\) in the dialog box and hit export?

 

If so, I am getting an error of 'Export could not complete'.

 

Are all the necessary settings in the geomulti.ini file or is there other settings in other files?

c:\ will work if you have a C: Drive ...

 

Did you already uninstall anything ..?

 

Generally yes, but there is info in other files also.

 

goto the C: drive and the folder GeoSettingz and see if any files were copied.

 

Also what version of Geo software do you have?

These are the files under Windows that have settings info in them. You would be getting an error if one of these are missing. I can correct it to just ignore it for you, or just manually copy these.

 

\GEO_CS.ini

\geoat.ini

\geobcast.ini

\GeoBrand.ini

\GeoDxDraw.ini

\GeoLan.ini

\GeoMailSetup.ini

\geomcast.ini

\GeoModem.ini

\GeoMulti.ini

\geonet.ini

\GeoPreview.ini

\GeoServerList.INI

\geoXCli.ini

I can manually copy them, you rock for offering to edit your VB code for me.

 

Thanks for pointing out what files I need.

 

Restoring should be as easy as reinstalling to 7.0.5 after unisnstalling - and copying the files back to the windows dir?

I got those files, and I found 3 of those missing:

 

\geonet.ini

\GeoServerList.INI

\geoXCli.ini

 

Would that be something that might be causing my 'SERVER START FAIL' dialog?
