Best way to upgrade to v 3.7

[mudsharkymon]

Am now running ver 3.6 (build 806) on WHS and may wish to upgrade.

Should I just run the new installer right over the existing installation?

[sindre_mehus]

Yes. The installer will automatically uninstall the existing version first. All settings will be kept.

Following this chain of thought... Have you looked into making an msi add-in version of subsonic Sindre?

I have noticed that there are quite a few users putting Subsonic on their WHSes. Making an add-in would seriously lower the adoption threshold for potential non-techie users.

For your convenience (add-in development):

I resisted SubSonic for quite some time for this exact reason. I really really want it to integrate into the add-in manager!!!

I'm not familiar with WHS, but I've ordered an evaluation copy from Microsoft.

That's a good thing then!

Windows Home Server is in reality just a trimmed Server 2003. It is administrated through a console running off one or more clients in the network.

The console looks something like this:

It can of course be accessed by way of RDP, however the console is there for ease of use. All program installation is meant to be done using add-ins (msi packages).

Several third party developers have made such packages, some are open source, some are made for profit. Home servers in general constitute a growing market and Windows Home Server is perhaps the easiest (didn't say least buggy, or best) option for Tom, Dick and Harry. I see no reason why Subsonic should not top 'Best add-in' ratings!
