Re: WAS Upgrade 5.1 Express to 7.0 Express

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I concur with Robert's suggestion you go straight to WAS 8.5 Express.

Do be warned that in addition to the things Robert said, the packaging 
in WAS 8.5 was changed quite a bit from earlier versions.  The 
documentation is at best extraordinarily poor, it's written as tough the 
reader is already a subject matter expert rather than an ordinary user.  
We found a complete reimplementation of the applications was needed, 
although in our case we did not have to do much with code.
