Micros RES 5.2 Files

[SmokeyIT]

I'm working on upgrading a MICROS RES 3700 server from version 5.2 to 5.7, but I've been asked to test the upgrade process on a separate machine first. While I successfully installed version 5.7 and understand that process, I'm running into an issue transferring the old database. It seems the database file's format is different due to the version. (MBZ vs MBZ5G)

To resolve this, I think the best way is to install version 5.2 on the test machine, transfer the database, and then perform the upgrade to 5.7. Thinking I can validate the entire process before touching the live server. However, I haven’t been able to locate the 5.2 installation files as Oracle doesn’t seem to provide them anymore.

Does anyone have suggestions for either converting the old database file to be compatible with 5.7 or locating the 5.2 installer? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'll check my stash. I may have them. However my thoughts are - do a full system backup of your 5.2 server, restore it on the test server. Then, it would be as if you had upgraded it when you go through your test run. Plus it serves to make a backup of your primary server in case you totally hose the original. Just restore the full PC, load the latest DB backup to it and you are back going.

I appreciate the help!

I took your advice and attempted to do the backup and then the upgrade, however I ran into 2 errors (the second was probably caused from the first). If anyone has any advice on the solution path I would be appreciative.
First error:

Of which I attempted to run the ODBC uninstall which worked, even without UAC, however it didnt resolve the error.

Second Error:
