However, as with upgrading any program, it is a good practice to make a backup of your data before performing an upgrade. Installing The Update: ---------------------- 1. Before attempting to run the update, you must have CMS 4.0.0 installed. If you don't have it installed, the update will not run. 2. Run the downloaded program (UPDATE.EXE). This will start the InstallShield Wizard to guide you through the update process. 3. Click the "Update" button on the welcome screen to start the update process. You do not need to know where the CMS is installed to perform the update. However, you will need administrative rights (as with installing any application) on Windows NT 4, 2000, and XP systems to properly perform the update. 4. When prompted, you can elect to have a desktop CMS icon created. 5. When the update is complete, click on the "Finish" button. At this point, the update process is complete. Please contact PWPL Technical Support if you need additional help installing this software.
