Appendix
The program logs all of the files that are installed to the "install.log file". This list is used by
the deinstaller to remove the program and must not be deleted if you want to use the
deinstaller at some time in the future.
Updating the program
There are two ways of installing a new version of CLV-Setup:
•
You can install the new version and still keep the old version (parallel installation)
– or –
•
You can install the new version over the old version (overwrite)
Installing the new version while still keeping the old one
If you want to install the new version and still keep the old version of CLV-Setup, follow the
procedure described under
Initial installation.
When the program asks you for the target
directory, you must specify a
new directory
.
Both versions of the software are then available
but must not be started simultaneously. The configuration files "*.scl " of the old version can
be used in the new version and contain the CLV parameter sets. In order to do so, copy the
configuration files from the "data" directory of the old version to the "data" directory of the
new version.
Installing the new version over the old one
Before you can install the new version of the software, you must remove the files of the old
version – with the exception of the configuration files "*.scl", which contain the CLV para-
meter sets.
The deinstaller of the old version removes the program files. You can use the deinstaller to
remove all of the files (with the exception of the configuration files) or only selected files. The
default setting is a complete deinstallation (the configuration files are not deleted). With the
custom deinstallation, the files are listed and only selected files are deinstalled. If you choo-
se this deinstallation method, make sure that the main directory containing the configuration
files "*.scl" is not deleted. We recommend that you move these files to a different directory
and copy them back to the "data" directory later.
