Always make sure to test all your projects after upgrading to the latest version of Foxtrot RPA! To ensure proper operation, all Foxtrot servers and workstations are required to run the same version. Upgrade the Foxtrot server first, followed by all Foxtrot workstations. Uninstalling will never delete Foxtrot scripts or databases.
Important notes
Previously, the MySQL connector DLL was installed with Foxtrot, but this is no longer included. Instead, you will need to download & install version 6.8.8 of this MySQL connector here: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net/6.8.html.
Foxtrot now requires .Net Framework v4.7.2 (instead of v4.5.1 as it in prior versions). When installing Foxtrot Suite v14.6, if the user does not already have .Net Framework v4.7.2 on their computer, they will be prompted to do so.
