Upgrading from RIS Server 1.5
The RIS Server 2.0 Installer only supports upgrading from version 1.5 only. As part of the upgrade process, all 1.5 application files will be removed, but the database must remain so that it can be updated by the 2.0 Installer to be compatible before installing the 2.0 application files. Please follow the instructions below to perform the upgrade.
1. Backup the Database
Before performing an upgrade from 1.5, it is highly recommended to perform a Full backup of the RIS database. This is done within SQL Server Management Studio.
2. Run the Installer and Proceed With Upgrade
Run the RIS Server 2.0 Installer and it will detect that an older version is already installed. Click OK to upgrade.
The RIS Server 2.0 Installer will begin the upgrade.
3. Remove RIS Server 1.5
The 1.5 uninstaller will begin the uninstall process and prompt you to remove the RIS Server 1.5 components. You must select Yes at this prompt.
The 2.0 Installer will call the 1.5 uninstaller to remove the 1.5 application files.

5. Install 2.0 Components
