Infrastructure Upgrade Problem

[PSU35]

After installing.......when we open any existing projects we get a pop-up
that says "the enterprise global already contains a view named "task Form"
and then gives 4 options - "replace" "replace all" "rename" "cancel". Can
anyone explain what this is all about?

Basically the EGT has a task form, as does the local global template. When
you connect to the Project Server, the EGT is downloaded and "merges" with
the global template, but in this case it cannot merge two forms with the same
name. To resolve the issue, open the EGT, and use the organiser to remove
the task form (backup your EGT beforehand); alternatively you could rename it
in the EGT. This isn't likely to the an IU problem.

Thanks for the response Ben.....
What is "EGT" and where is it?

The EGT = Enterprise Global Template. This "pollution" problem you are
having is the result of carless handling of the application when you have
the Enterprise Global open. See the following for step-by-step cleanup:
