The SYSPRO Installer Application is used to update the software from one release to another, as well as to update specific products.
Therefore, if there is an existing and configured deployment group on the current machine, the application verifies if either of the following are available:
- Later software release
- Product updates
If either are applicable, an Update button is displayed on the deployment group screen against the relevant group.
If both are applicable, the Update button is displayed, but when selected the app prompts you to indicate which update you want to proceed with:
The Update Products option is for a new version of a SYSPRO service, whereas the Update Release option is for a later software release. Therefore, If you choose to update the release, everything you have installed is updated to the latest version. However, if you only want to update the product file and not the release, you would then use the Update Products option.
