SpeechMagic InterActive

The setup for InterActive for SpeechMagic 6.1 has been changed. This means that it may be necessary to undertake specific steps when upgrading from all previous versions of InterActive. These steps apply to InterActive installations on SpeechMagic Workstations and to stand-alone InterActive installations. [PSP00034952, PSP00034130]

To upgrade to InterActive for SpeechMagic 6.1, do the following:

  1. Uninstall all InterActive installations. This can be done either via SpeechMagic Workstation Maintenance or by uninstalling InterActive manually.

  2. Install InterActive for SpeechMagic 6.1.

If, during the installation procedure, a message is displayed warning that an old version of InterActive still exists on the PC, do the following:

Setup

The data exchange format is not yet final. This means that data exported from a SpeechMagic 5.1 SR1 system with the Release Candidate 2 Upgrade tool will not be useable for import into the up-coming SpeechMagic 6.1 Commercial Release.

Workaround: Do not delete your original SpeechMagic 5.1 SR1 installation. It can be re-used for exporting data once SpeechMagic 6.1 Commercial Release is available.

Note: This is not considered an important scenario as the Upgrade tools delivered with Release Candidate 2 are good enough for upgrading. Additionally, upgrading from Release Candidate 2 to the Commercial Release will be possible.

Workaround: Restart the corresponding PC prior to starting SpeechMagic Workstation Setup. [PSP00032511], [PSP00033168]

InterActive MSI-based setup

To ensure that locked files are replaced with the latest version, after the PC is restarted, the SDK setup must be started using the following command line parameter:

msiexec /i "SpeechMagic InterActiveSDK.msi" /REINSTALL=ALL /REINSTALLMODE=vamus

Note: This issue only applies to InterActive SDK and is only relevant for developers.

General

Workaround: Make sure that there is enough free disk space available.
