Method not found

There could potentially be an issue with anti-virus software. The error may also display if a database version does not match the software version. If this occurs on a network install, the steps must be performed on the server. 

Reapply Database Updates

  1. Disable any anti-virus or anti-spyware software.
  2. Navigate to C:\Program Files or Program Files (x86)\Greatland Corporation\Yearli or Yearli Server\20XX*, where XX is the year and locate the file called Versions or Versions.ini.
  3. Open the Versions.ini file in notepad.
  4. Change the line that says “PatchLevel= #” to “PatchLevel=-1”. 

Note:  If using Windows Vista,  the Versions file will need to be copied to the desktop to be able to make the necessary changes to the file.  The Versions file will need to be saved on the desktop, then moved back in the Yearli folder from Step 2.

  1. Save and close the file.
  2. Open Yearli and apply the available updates. If on a network, double-click the online update icon on the server machine desktop.
