Fixes in 4.1 betas/release-candidates
See Servoy 4.1 rc3 release notes
So I ran the update and it says my servoy version is “4.1.0 rc2ii build 649”, is the rc2 stuff just a forgotten leftover, or did I not get the update properly?
Huge congratulations on 4.1 Servoy. This is close to the most exciting release since 1.0 in my opinion. Being right on the heels of moving to Eclipse with 4.0 it’s a lot of Wow! in one year. Thanks! It’s a lot of fun being a Servoy developer…pretty cool that.
We tried to upgrade our app server install of Servoy 4.1.0 rc1 to 4.1.0 final and are getting a 401 error…

Is something wrong with the download server ?
Thanks in advance
I wanted to have Servoy 3.5.7 AND Servoy 4.1 running on 1 single machine.
I installed 4.1 in another directory than 3.5.7
That went well, but when installing 4.1 I selected the Windows Service option.
Because I wanted both servers running as a service.
Unfortunately my main service (3.5.7) is lost, because it was overwritten by the 4.1 installation.
Please provide possibility to have both services on the same server and even more important:
How can I reset my service back to the 3.5.7 version, because I can’t change the path in the Windows Services properties.
Change in the servoy 3.5/service directory
the wrapper.conf to read the line: wrapper.ntservice.name=ServoyService35
Then execute in the servoy 3.5 directory
service\Wrapper.exe" -i “service\wrapper.conf”
Then you will have a ServoyService and a ServoyService35 in the windows services list
I discovered the source of the ‘401 error’ that we were getting.
Turns out we have a new ‘network police’ policy that was blocking our server’s successful connection to the download server during the upgrade process.
We ended up having to ‘authenticate’ our outbound session request - once we did that we were good to go.
