Ver 6 install ussue - spool file location?

Postby olc » Thu Jul 07, 2011 10:47 pm

Attempting to upgrade from ver. 5 loses most everything. I noticed that the new SPOOL_V6 file is in NewsbinData\Images folder and the old SPOOL_V1 is in the NewsbinData folder. I sthis the problem, and,if so, how to fix? Thanks.

If you download some headers, you'll see a new spool_v6 appear in the data folder. You could pick a group, right click, post storage, import 5.59 records and then see what happens. I'd just do one group to start,

So I have to reselect all my groups first or will doing one group and following your process recover all of them?

I'd do one group and see if you like the process. If you do, and don't mind the time, you can import all or some of the groups. Some groups, it might be quicker to re-download the headers. It's completely up to you.
