I am getting an error stating that I must first install OD 8.4.0.0 before installing OD 8.4.1.0. The thing is, I am running 8.4.0.3 on this server. This is a test box and I did not get this error when installing 8.4.1.0 on outr production box. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks guys. 
Hello Waytec,
Am I understanding correctly? You have a server with CMOD 8.4.0.3 already installed, and you want to install the version 8.4.1.0 upgrade fileset, and it tells you that he don't find it, and you must first install the version 8.4.0.0 before upgrading?
On which platform are you? Unix (AIX, Linux, HP, Solaris) or Windows?
From my own experience, in unix you could copy the directory from another server (... meaning not installing with the install software provided ...), and some system files will not be updated (ODM in AIX, rpm in Linux, pkg in solaris, ...) and everything will work without any problems.
The problem will be by updating. Then the installer will be lost, and will think you never installed the product.
If this is the case, then the only solution will be as Justin suggested, to get the base level package for CMOD (8.4.0.0 in your example) and then upgrade it to 8.4.1.0. Or better, get the 8.4.1.0 base level, and install it.
But before doing this install, make sure to backup the ars.ini, just in case!!!
For Windows, I have never experienced that, so cannot tell... but in that case, install the base level 8.4.0.0 or 8.4.1.0.
Good luck,
Alessandro
