Fixed on the web page.

Deon: could you check the docs please ?

Comment 3 Deon Ballard 2011-02-15 17:46:09 UTC
Heiko,

It doesn't look like this error is in the docs (I checked install and upgrade sections), but the Windows install/upgrade stuff is buried. I'm opening a separate doc bug to break those sections out and make the Windows procedures more clear. (Which doesn't have a lot to do with this bug, but this brought it to my attention.)

Comment 4 Deon Ballard 2011-11-28 16:32:17 UTC
The problem wasn't that the information didn't exist, so much as it was impossible to find (which comes out to the same thing). So, I broke out a separate windows install section:

http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/JBoss_Operations_Network/3.0/html/Installation_Guide/JON_Server_Running_The_Installer.html#ui-install-windows

Comment 5 Heiko W. Rupp 2013-09-01 19:21:16 UTC
Bulk closing of BZs that have no target version set, but which are ON_QA for more than a year and thus are in production for a long time.
