Why is the SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) failing to upgrade?

Due to a setting in the SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) installer, SWIS may fail to upgrade as required for all Orion NPM users. The following procedure addresses this issue.

To correct a SolarWinds Information Service upgrade failure:

Log in to the server hosting your installation of Orion NPM.
Note: If at all possible, log in as the user who originally installed Orion NPM version 9.5.
Upgrade to Orion NPM version 9.5.1.
Notes:
- Orion NPM version 9.5.1 is available in the SolarWinds Customer Portal.
- For more information about upgrading Orion NPM, see "Upgrading Orion Network Performance Monitor" in the Orion Network Performance Monitor Administrator Guide.

Upgrading to Orion NPM 9.5.1 should fully address a SWIS upgrade failure. If, however, SWIS has not upgraded after an upgrade to Orion NPM 9.5.1

Log in to the server hosting your installation of Orion NPM.
Note: If at all possible, log in as the user who originally installed Orion NPM version 9.5.
Click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs.
Confirm whether or not SolarWinds Information Service v2.0 is listed.
If SolarWinds Information Service v2.0 is not listed, complete the following steps:
1. If SolarWinds Information Service v2.1 is listed, uninstall it before proceeding.
2. Open the SolarWinds\Installers folder.
  Note: The default location is volume:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\Installers.
3. Execute InformationService.msi.
4. Click Next on the SolarWinds Information Service v2.0 Setup Welcome window.
5. Check I accept the terms in the License Agreement, and then click Next.
6. Click an appropriate setup type.
  Note: For most users, SolarWinds recommends the Typical setup type.
7. Click Install.
8. Click Finish when the setup wizard completes.
