So I only just upgraded to ACT 20, and now I have to install ACT v21. Well no biggie I have just done this a couple weeks ago. Ok, so I uninstall the old version of ACT install the new version, follow the licensing prompts, but now I can't launch the program. Every time I open Act! v21 Pro I get an error message "version string portion was too short or too long"
Since I was updating on the server first now no one can access the ACT database.
Anyone seen this before? I tried following the information I found earlier about deleting the registry keys pertaining to versioning of .net framework but to no avail.

I am running a 2012 R2 Server
I have SQL 2008 running
I ran the .net framework 4.7.2 installer after installing my newest version of ACT

I used first a standard uninstall and reinstall, and then a revo uninstall and then reinstall both failed to fix the installation.
Every time I get done with the install I launch the program and I get the same error.
I have tried doing this upgrade to multiple machines and each one gives the same error.
Any help would be appreciated

Can someone try this? I have my customer rolled back to v20 until such time that I know this is resolved. Thanks!

Would be interested to see an official response on this, but my own inclination would be to first try running a Repair on the latest installed version of .Net from Control Panel|Programs|Programs and Features.

Thomas, thanks for your post.
I receive the error message before I am asked for my v. 21 license number. It pops up right after I click to launch the program. I am holding for ACT! support anyway, to see what else they might be able to suggest.
