ISTA 4.39.20 update 4.42.30 via ISTA CONSOLE?

[HarrisonFIN]

Im looking solution to update my ISTA+ Standalone 4.39.20 to 4.42.30 via ISTA Launcher Console.
Got the latest "Delta files" for ISTA Console set up and downloaded, but still not 100% confident how META-SDP-BLP-DELTA data sets should be runned through ISTA Console.

If your remotely happy to help, just shoot my PM.
Happy to help remote codings, retrofits etc exchange of work or some other compensation.

Or second option, if you have latest 4.42.30 version as standalone and working condition for programming, happy install that instead.

Thanks!

I believe there are two things missing: Admin Client and ISTA Launcher.

But to run with this stuff I believe it's necessary to have a license and an AOS login. Unless there's stuff in the 4.42 release you really need, you might want to consider sticking with 4.39.

It should also be mentioned that the files called .istapackage are zip formatted archives.

Both Admin Client and ISTA launcher are there, but you dont necessary need them with ISTA Launcher Console. Theres couple valuable updateds to S15A chassis which Im looking for 4.42 versions, so 4.39 is not an option

Yes, istapackages are packed files which Launcher console can understand and extract/install, but I belive cannot extracted normally way without any 3rd party software (like Launcher console).

Still looking for install help / assistance, if any one have done this before?

Are you asking how to install the ISTA packages manually?

The files are simply zip formatted. You can unzip them with 7-Zip or something similar. But there's data that gets unpacked that probably is managed by some sort of post processor within ISTA Launcher.

When you run the ISTA Launcher, what do you get?

Depends version of ISTA standalone but usually with manual update you replace SDP/BLP files and fix registry to match of latest program data, so ISTA can understand them.

But when your doing update with Ista Launcher Console, it will update whole ISTA program to latest version with languages/SDP/BLP service functions etc. Its beneficial to get your ISTA up to date at whole program and not just SDP/BLP as ”manual install will do”.
ISTA Launcher Console will handle ”istapackage & xml-files” which it can extract and place in correct places in ISTA program folders and databases.

Thats the biggest difference between these updates and Launcher Console is not easiest to use as it might corrupt your ISTA database if used incorrectly.
Thats why looking assistance for Launcher Console handling to avoid reinstall of Ista all the time, because I get quite often corrupted Installation

So just looking at the DELTA sets, they are valid zip archives. I compared a few files from the SDP and the SDP DELTA archives and it seems it only overwrites the files with the DELTA archive. The goofy part is that the istapackage.zip.001..005 files need to be concatenated before they can be unzipped. I can't seem to make a spanned archive work with those files. Usually if you provide the first and last file, you'll have what you need to traverse a spanned archive. But for some reason it seems they've just zipped up a large archive and then split it into 5 files.

But I believe the DELTA files are cumulative. I don't have many iterations of DELTA files, but it would make sense that everything in version, say 3 also contains 2. A future version 4 would then contain 3 and 2 along with its own payload.

I change my mind, the archives must be applied in sequence, as the previous version file will not include the next version(s). So to go from version 1 to version 4, you'd apply 2 + 3 + 4, not just 4.
