Upgrade PI Manual Logger for Windows Mobile devices

Upgrade of the software on a mobile device is not supported. You must remove the currently installed version and then install a newer version.

1. Transfer all tour run data that you need to save.

2. Cradle the mobile device and open your PC operating system's Remove Program feature.

   • For Windows Vista or later operating systems, click Control Panel > Programs and Features.

   • For earlier Windows operating systems, click Control Panel > Add or Programs.

3. Follow these steps for removal.

   1. Select PI Manual Logger Mobile for removal.

   This removes PI Manual Logger Mobile from the PC and the mobile device. It also removes SQL Server Compact Edition and .NET Compact Framework from the device for Windows Mobile 5 or earlier devices. SQL Server Compact Edition and .NET Compact Framework are installed in ROM on a WM6 device.

   1. To remove PI Manual Logger Mobile from multiple devices, use the Remove Programs feature on each device. Click Start > Settings > System > Remove Programs and remove OSIsoft PI Manual Logger Mobile.

   2. For Windows Mobile 5 or earlier devices, repeat these steps to remove Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact and Microsoft .NET CF 2.0.

   Note: On Pocket PC 2003 devices, a hard/cold reset on each mobile device removes PI Manual Logger Mobile components, including SQL Server Compact Edition and .NET Compact Framework, in addition to other custom installed applications. Windows Mobile 5 and greater devices provide the concept of persistent storage, which means these devices do not lose data if the device experiences a cold boot or power loss.

4. Install the new version of PI Manual Logger Mobile with SQL Server Compact Edition and .NET Compact Framework 2.0. Refer to PI Manual Logger Mobile 2012 installation.

   Note: Most Windows Mobile 6.x devices are pre-loaded with SQL Server Compact Edition and .NET Compact Framework 2.0 or 3.5, so there is no need to install these two components. For information about installation on additional devices, see Install or reinstall required PIML Mobile components.
