Beta 9: Slaves won't launch

[im_thatoneguy]

Slaves crash on start on all workstations. Does beta 9 actually work for anyone?

I can’t find any useful logs.

Did you run the beta 9 client installer, or did you auto upgrade? Auto upgrading still isn’t supported yet, and the beta 9 installer must be run to update the Qt libraries.

[im_thatoneguy]

Autoupdate. Does it not work again?

[rrussell]

It’s never been supported in Deadline 6. That’s why we put this message at the top of all announcements and downloads for new releases.

Due to ongoing changes in the installers and the way we do auto-upgrades of Deadline, you must reinstall the Repository and Clients again. You DO NOT need to reinstall the MongoDB database.
