SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to upgrade Citrix Winframe 1.7 to Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, Winframe 1.7 may not be detected on the computer. A fresh install will be the only option presented.



CAUSE
Registry inconsistencies may cause Terminal Server to ignore the Winframe installation from being upgraded.



RESOLUTION
There is a utility (Regfix.exe) in the Support\Regfix folder that can repair some instances of registry (hive) inconsistencies.

This utility will repair a Windows NT 3.51 or a Citrix WinFrame 1.x registry file so that you can upgrade that installation to Windows Terminal Server.

usage: regfix inputfilename outputfilename   inputfilename - the name of the registry file to process ouputfilename - the name for the updated registry file Detailed Informaton:

To run Regfix.exe, you will have to run it from another Windows NT installation so that you can safely modify the registry file. Here is the procedure to follow:

 If you do not have one already, you will have to install Windows NT to another partition. Boot the system to an alternate Windows NT partition.  Change to the WinFrame\system32\config directory of the WinFrame (or Windows NT 3.51) partition to be updated:      cd \winframe\system32\config   Rename the software hive to software.sav:      ren software software.sav   Fix the registry file (assuming that d: is your CD-ROM drive): <pre class="fixed_text">     d:\support\regfix\regfix software.sav software </li> Restart the Windows Terminal Server upgrade.</li></ol>
