Subsonic Forum

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?

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.

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!
