Hi,

 

Please check this KB

 

Run the setup of K2 and it will show you if there is a newer version than the one you're using.

Kindly let me know which installer or package I need to download and then run at K2 servers and SharePoint servers.

We do have K2 blackpearl 4.6.6 and we are not sure which installer of 4.6.11 needs to be download and then install. DO I need to download Update Installer  or Separate Installers  or Combined Installer

Hi,

 

As mentioned in the KB I posted in my previous note:

 

The update installer is only if you have 4.6.9 or higher.  

 

The combined installer If you want to download a single file containing all the latest components then download this package.

I read the article http://help.k2.com/kb001735 and understood that If you are on a K2 version prior to K2 4.6.9 you must use the K2 Installation Package to upgrade your environment.

I have downloded K2 Installation Package 4.6.11 (4.12060.1735.1).exe and then extracted this exe file. I found four different folders such as

1. K2 blackpearl 4.6.11 (4.12060.1731.1)

2. K2 smartforms 4.6.11 (4.12165.1732.1)

3. K2 smartforms Control Pack 4.6.11 (4.13180.1733.1)

4. K2 for SharePoint 4.6.11 (4.13350.1734.1)

 

Now I am not sure which setup files I need to run which is available with in above four folders and which can be ignored as I do have black pearl only with 2 WFE, 1 APP  and 1 separate K2 server. If I am comparing it with K2 Installation Package 4.6.10 then it contains only one folder as "Installation"
