I downloaded the Linux PreBoot frm file for DS 6.9 SP2. When I ran the installation it said it was an earlier version and not compatible. When I checked the file version itself, it appears to be the exact same file as DS 6.9 SP1 version.

Anybody else get this?

wrong file

Sounds like you grabbed the wrong frm file.  What link did you download it from?  Make sure you get the frm file for 6.9 SP2.

Missing piece

I tried installing using those files and I didn't get any message or problem, so there's some piece of the puzzle that's different.  What is the exact size (in bytes) of the frm file you are using?  The size should be 45,214,387 bytes.  If you happened to get a corrupted frm file that is significantly smaller than this size you may get that error message.

Would you also please give more detail as to your setup... are you upgrading from a previous version; what OS, and configuration are you using; and any other detail you can offer.

Thanks,

Solution

When I installed it after the fact, it worked. Strange.

Thanks for your help.
