Description:
Trying to upgrade from 2.0.0.7088 to 2.0.0.7092 is a no-go since there appears to be a missing file.
Every time I try to run the updater "mysqlmonitor-2.0.0.7092-solaris-intel-update-installer.bin" it start's of fine, but after a while it complains about not being able to read /tmp/com/mysql/merlin/server/version.props which doesn't appear to exist.

How to repeat:
bash-3.00# ./mysqlmonitor-2.0.0.7092-solaris-intel-update-installer.bin

Where is your previous installation?

Previous Installation [/opt/mysql/enterprise/monitor]:

Warning: Error reading file /tmp/com/mysql/merlin/server/version.props
Press [Enter] to continue : ^C
bash-3.00# ls -l /tmp/com/mysql/merlin/server/version*
/tmp/com/mysql/merlin/server/version*: No such file or directory

The problem is that we moved the location of version.props in 2.0.  This was discovered and fixed after 7092 was built.  However, note that we *don't* support an upgrade from 2.x to 2.y -- the fix merely makes that clearer with a message rather than the error reported.

The Merlin Service Manager upgrade installers now allow the user to upgrade from any 1.3 release or any 2.0 release >= 2.0.0.7102.

Verified fixed in build 2.0.0.7103.

An entry was added to the 2.0 changelog:

Trying to upgrade from 2.0.0.7088 to 2.0.0.7092 failed as there was a missing file. When the update program mysqlmonitor-2.0.0.7092-solaris-intel-update-installer.bin was run, the file /tmp/com/mysql/merlin/server/version.props could not be found.
