IMPORTANT: Installing or upgrading AGRIS requires up to two (2) system restarts on all server and client machines, as detailed below. Please take this into consideration when planning your installation or upgrade.
1. A system restart after completing the .NET Framework installation program (this installation program will only run if the computer does not yet have the required version of the .NET Framework)
2. A system restart after completing the AGRIS installation program
IMPORTANT: The existing version of the AGRIS System must be version 10.1.0 or higher. No earlier versions of the software can be directly upgraded to this version. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 10.1.0, you should first upgrade to version 19.3.0 and convert all datasets to version 19.3.0, then proceed with upgrading to this version of AGRIS.
...
TIP: Download the install package in advance (see STEP 1) as this can take some time to complete (download is approximately 510MB). There is no impact on users by simply downloading the install package (SETUP.EXE), so users can remain in the system during this step. Users will need to exit AGRIS while AGRIS is installing (Steps 2-4).
TIP: If there are standalone computers to update (e.g., remote oneWeigh workstations), complete Steps 1-4 on those units and perform all steps locally on the standalone machine.
TIP: This document assumes an existing installation of AGRIS 9.5.0.x or higher is already in place and that all machines running AGRIS meet the system requirements of the new release.
...
Since AGRIS installs are cumulative, applying the latest one can help ensure that you are getting the most out of the system. There are 5 major steps associated with the upgrade process. This document will guide you through performing those steps correctly and in the recommended order.

- If an older Setup.exe file is found, click "Yes" when prompted to overwrite the file.
- If you administer Citrix and/or Terminal Servers, you may wish to download Setup.exe directly to the Apps\AGRISDIST folder for installation via the network on those machines.
- Alternatively, you may find it easier to simply download the setup.exe to the desktop of each server instead of trying to browse to setup.exe via the network. If so, just repeat Steps 1-5 on each of the servers.
