BIM SERVER UPDATE

[archigreen]

How can I update my server version to be compatible with my client version to be able to work on line in TW?

If archicad is installed on their machine, checking for updates for Archicad will give them the option to update their Bim Server Manager.

How can I update my Archicad 13 to 3235 build (and also the not working BIM Server)? No way by "Chek for update" or "Archicad download".
May be there is a delay in italian translation?

Thank you

As i recall you might also need a copy of archicad installed on your BIM Server machine (even if you would never use it there). Otherwise you cant get through the installer to the BIM Server update.

If that is the case, then that is a problem with the installer - Since you do not need AC installed on the BIM Server. GS should create an installer that allows you to select which of the 3 applications you want to update...

AC13
BIM Server
BIM Server Manager

Have you seen the release notes here? -

It seems to give instructions on how to update the different versions of the BIM server. Does it help at all, or had you spotted it already?

This almost got me as well.

Archicad is not required to be installed on the BIM Server computer. When you run the hotfix on the server computer, if the installer does not find Archicad installed it will ask to provide a location for it. Just choose the "Do not update Archicad now" option and press the "Next>" button. It will then search for the BIM Server software installed on the computer and update it if it finds it.

Our BIM Server is running on Windows Server 2003.

Thanks Tim. That worked just fine for me (without having Archicad installed on our BIM server).

I also posted on this issue in the Hotfix release thread.

We have a 64-Bit Windows Server 2008 R2 using Windows 7 to host our BIM Server. The recent hotfix update says it cannot locate the BIM Server Manager.exe file. While I can see the actual file through the windows explorer, the Browse... function within the installer to locate the directory at C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\BIM Server\TeamworkServer doesn't recognize that its stored there.

Any ideas/suggestions before I pass this on to our reseller? Thanks!
