Install NSM 5.X without upgrade from previous 4.X

Fix84 · 2021-07-09 10:15

Hi to everybody,
I've about 150 clients with NSM 4 installed and I need to deploy the new NSM 5 with a completely new configuration (in the setup folder are present licence and configuration files).
Trying to do it manually, execute the setup file of the NSM 5, is been showed if proceed with upgrade... but in my case, I need to do a new installation without conserving any old settings. There is a command-line to do that without split these activities into 2 phases (uninstalling the NSM 4 and install the 5)?

Many thanks

Before we can help you with this request, could you please clarify your license situation, because we are unable to find your email address, domain or name in our customer database. 150 clients does not sound like private use. Thank you.

Than you for clarifying that this question is for a customer of yours. As mentioned in the email, the number of 5.x licenses of that customer is significantly lower. Unfortunately, you didn't reply ro clarify this.

In the meantime, we have provided the answer to this question to the customer directly. For making the answer available to all other users who might be searching for this, we are posting the reply here as well:

The profiles and preferences of version 4.x are all stored in the settings.ini file (in version 5.x it is netsetman.xml) in the program folder.
You can either uninstall the application completely or delete this file manually. Notice, that you need Administrator privileges for this action.
If you are using the NSM Administration as well, then you will need to delete its registry file as well as described in this help file topic.
You can uninstall or delete the file by command line as well of course.
