SIMS Local - How to re-install MIS Sync over a previous installation

At times, you may be asked to reinstall the MIS:Sync application, to ensure that it protects from security threats, or to introduce new fields or functionality.

To reinstall the following should be considered:

• You need to identify the location of the current installation (re-installation must be over the existing application rather than a fresh installation).
• You will need administrative access to the server or workstation that the application is installed on.  For this reason, it is normally the function of your IT maintenance provider to complete this activity.
• You should not not need to provide any additional credentials or make any changes to the configuration.

The installation follows the same steps as above but when selecting the installation location you must set it to the same as the existing instance.

1. Download the latest version of MIS Sync, see article, How to get the latest version of MIS Sync for more information.
2. Once downloaded, open the zip file and launch the setup.exe file to install the application.
3. Follow the on-screen setup instructions, ensuring that the installation location is the same as the currently installed copy.
4. Once complete, the application will launch with the previously configured credentials.  If no credentials are presented you will need to proceed as if it were a new installation and complete setup and configuration as above.
