All,
We currently have about half of our machines in CM12 reporting back with a failed Client Check, reporting that "ccmsetup's version does not match ccmeval's version". Upon investigation, we invariably find that there is a C:\Windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe
with a 4.x version and a C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe with a 5.x version on same machine. Reading other threads regarding this error, it appears to be caused (in our case, anyway) by our installing the CM12 client via GPO directly
over a pre-existing CM07 client. We have found that copying the SysWOW64 ccmsetup.exe over top of the other fixes the problem, but I'd like to avoid the problem in the first place. So, to my question:
What options do we have for uninstalling the CM07 client before installing the CM12 client? Client Push (which has been mentioned elsewhere as a fix for the error above) will not work in our environment due to restrictions on File & Printer Sharing,
so that's out. What other options are there that will let me either (a) install the CM12 client on 64-bit machines in such a way that there are no parts of the CM07 client left behind to confuse matters, or (b) uninstall the CM07 client completely without
having to resort to using sneakernet? Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
