How to upgrade an existing version of Vantagepoint
Resolution:
To upgrade an existing Vantagepoint installation:
- Make sure all users are logged out of Vantagepoint.
- Log onto the Web Server for Vantagepoint as an Administrator.
- Launch Powershell As Administrator.
- Change to the folder for the Vantagepoint scripts.
- The default is: C:\Program Files\Deltek\Vantagepoint\Scripts
- The Administrator must have full access to this folder
- Run the command to set the target version. This is the major build number. (The upgrade will download the most recent update within this major build.)
- For Vantagepoint 2025.3, the command is .\DeltekVantagepoint.ps1 –SetVersion 2025.3
- For Vantagepoint 2025.4, the command is .\DeltekVantagepoint.ps1 –SetVersion 2025.4
- For Vantagepoint 2026.1, the command is .\DeltekVantagepoint.ps1 –SetVersion 2026.1
- Note: During the course of the update, the script will reach out to the Deltek Software Manager for upgrade files. The administrator must be able to log into the Deltek support site with a valid username. The password for this account should be 12 alphanumeric characters or fewer, with no special characters that could be misinterpreted as SQL delimiters.
- After that runs successfully, run the command: .\DeltekVantagepoint.ps1 –Upgrade
- This will upgrade the application files as well as the selected Vantagepoint databases.
- If the Vantagepoint databases were not automatically upgraded in the previous step, run the command .\DeltekVantagepoint.ps1 –UpgradeDatabases
- The script will automatically attempt to upgrade the databases listed in the Weblink for Vantagepoint. The process will prompt for the Weblink password.
- The associated Filestream database(s) do not have to be updated.
- To upgrade just one Vantagepoint database, run the command: .\DeltekVantagepoint.ps1 –UpgradeDatabase
- To separately migrate a database from Vision 7.6 to Vantagepoint, run the command: .\DeltekVantagepoint.ps1 –MigrateDatabase
