 Hi Everyone,

I recently upgraded our HP 3000 969-ks/400 from MPE 6.0pp2 to 7.0
express 1. I followed the instructions in the Software Maintenance
Manual, and all the steps there went okay. The process asked for the FOS
tape, our prod/subsys tape, and the express 1 tape. However, when I do

:SHOWME
USER: #S52,MANAGER.SYS,JOHN      (NOT IN BREAK)
RELEASE: C.70.00   MPE/iX HP31900 C.39.06   USER VERSION: C.70.00
CURRENT: THU, AUG 29, 2002,  2:44 PM
LOGON:   THU, AUG 29, 2002,  2:37 PM
CPU SECONDS: 1         CONNECT MINUTES: 7
$STDIN LDEV: 226         $STDLIST LDEV: 226

It appears not to know that I've put the express 1 patches on. Our
N-Class box, which came with 7.0 Express 1 pre-loaded reports:
/showme
USER: #S2107,MGR.ISU,JOHN       (IN PROGRAM)
RELEASE: C.70.01   MPE/iX HP31900 C.39.06   USER VERSION: C.70.01
CURRENT: THU, AUG 29, 2002,  2:46 PM
LOGON:   THU, AUG 29, 2002, 11:26 AM
CPU SECONDS: 1         CONNECT MINUTES: 200
$STDIN LDEV: 384         $STDLIST LDEV: 384


Furthermore, when I print the first few lines of HPSWINFO.PUB.SYS, I get
the following:

:print hpswinfo.pub.sys
*******************************************************************
**                                                               **
**              *** MPE/iX MIT C.70.00  ***                      **
**                                      POWERPATCH C7001 P6      **
**              THU, MAR  1, 2001,  5:02 PM                      **
**                                                               **

While on our N-Class box with 7.0 express 1 preinstalled:

/print hpswinfo.pub.sys
*******************************************************************
**                                                               **
**              *** MPE/iX MIT C.70.01  ***                      **
**                                      POWERPATCH C7001 P6      **
**              TUE, MAY 22, 2001, 12:47 PM                      **
**                                                               **


So, even though I followed all the steps, and they all looked like they
ran properly, it doesn't appear that I got the Express 1 installed
properly. Is there any other way for me to tell?  If the install didn't
go correctly, can I just reinstall the Express 1 as a PowerPatch, or do
I need to do the complete reinstall process again.

Thanks!
