Hi everyone
I am just getting ready to upgrade our Cognos installation from 11.0.6 to 11.0.9 (and 11.0.9 FP1 apparently).
We have 3 Windows server environments: DEV, UAT and PROD. Each one has a gateway for single sign-on, and an app server (I run Framework Manager from my PC). The app server runs all components but the gateway.
UAT was a new environment last summer and when 11.0.6 was installed, I mistakenly installed components that weren't necessary (there was an extra dispatcher I believe because the service was starting automatically). This worked out okay, but now I want to correct the issue when upgrading to 11.0.9.
So my questions are:
1. How can I control which components are installed with an 'over the top' upgrade? It looks like the only option is Cognos Analytics server.
2. How can I correct the mistake from an earlier install if I can't select components?
....Just looking for advice. I will continue my research in the meantime before I begin.
Thanks
I see another post at this link:

Jeff H. stated that for the Gateway he had to do a bit of a hack and rename the existing Analytics folder so that the installer allows a custom install.
Is this really the only way?
Thanks
