6.1b installer can't see license file

Hi, this seems pretty strange.

I’m attempting to install 6.1b full client on a machine that has 5.1.8 on it already. I choose to retain the existing installation and it asks me to browse to the license file.

I can browse to the directory but the license file does not show on the screen so i cannot select it. I’ve tried looking in an alternate location on our webi server but it cannot see there either. On the same machine i can physically browse thru windows explorer to the same locations and can clearly see the xml file. I’ve even copied the file again but it still can’t see it.

I have local admin rights and have completed this process previously about a month ago on my own pc without problems.

When you browse to the directory you won’t see the license file. BO doesn’t want to know where THE FILE is. It wants to know where you put it. It works this way, because you can simply add more license files to the same directory.

After you browse to the directory and hit OK, then you should see a button that says Check License (or something like that). It then reads the file and tells you what you can install. If this step isn’t working, then you have a different problem.
