Hi Anil, Thanks for clarifying.

What you have done is not a supported scenario.

Between promoted v3 builds, one needs to do the update through update tool.
From Prelude to current promoted v3 builds, i am sure you HAVE TO use upgrade tool.
From Preview to current promoted v3 builds, i am not sure if upgradetool is required or if updatetool can do the job. I need to find out.

Previous comment from Snjezana to the quality alias has mentioned:

Adding Sathyan Catari to cc list. Note that this scenario is unsupported in the
first place since GF installer was not designed to be used to perform in-place
upgrades between promoted builds.

V3 installer does not support in-place upgrades irrespective of whether it is in between nightly builds or
over a previous version of GF.[/i]

===============================
I don't mind looking into this scenario, but the problem is i cannot reproduce that myself on different platform. Besides, since this is not supported, it is very low on my to-do list.

thanks
Anissa.
