Backing up LinkPlexer to enable restoration in
the event of a faulty PEP or Service Update
Introduction
The LinkPlexer 6.0 Program Enhancement Package (PEP) or Service Update
(SU) installers can be used to update the LinkPlexer 6.0 file content. The PEP/
SU installer reads the LinkPlexer 6.0 path from the registry keys and installs the
modifications in the Nortel LinkPlexer 6.0 folder.
After you install the PEP/SU, you cannot uninstall it. The uninstall process
removes the complete application. In case a fault occurs in the PEP/SU
installation, it is advisable to have a backup copy of the original LinkPlexer 6.0
files.
To back up LinkPlexer 6.0
1 Locate the LinkPlexer 6.0 folder. By default, the folder is located at
C:\Program Files\Nortel\LinkPlexer.
2 Copy this folder (and consequently all the files) to another location.
3 Close all applications that are currently running.
4 Proceed with the PEP/SU installation (see “Installing an SU for LinkPlexer
6.0,” on page 82).
5 If a problem with the PEP/SU installation occurs, delete the LinkPlexer 6.0
folder located, by default, at C:\Program Files\Nortel\LinkPlexer.
6 Restore the LinkPlexer 6.0 folder to C:\Program Files\Nortel\LinkPlexer.
You can now run LinkPlexer 6.0 and its associated applications as usual.
