Issue/Introduction

During installation of v13 client, error message pops up:

Error 2727. The directory entry '_467AB6AC663D4E268B2925187D896824' does not exist in the Directory table.

Environment

CA Harvest SCM v13.0 Increment 2 on Windows

Cause

When installing the increment you must install the exact same component as was installed for SCM V13 GA release.  With the SCM Client there are two different types - Full Client and Workbench Only.  If you try to install Increment 2 of the wrong type of client you will get an error message like this.

If you installed SCM v13 GA release of the 32-bit Full Client, and then try to install the SCM V13 Increment 2 of the 32-bit Workbench Only client you will see something like this:
Error 2711. The specified Feature name ('<userid>') not found in Feature table

If you do the opposite, and install the SCM v13 GA release of the 32-bit Workbench Only client, and then try to install the SCM V13 Increment 2 of the 32-bit Full Client you will see something like this:
Error 2727. The directory entry '<long hexadecimal value>' does not exist in the Directory table.

<Please see attached file for image>

Resolution

If you receive the first message beginning with "Error 2711" this means you need to install the CA SCM V13 Increment 2 of the 32-bit Full Client.

If you receive the second message beginning with "Error 2727" this means you need to install the CA SCM V13 Increment 2 of the 32-bit Workbench Only Client.
