Downloading and Installing Your Upgrade Files

 

The 1st step to upgrading is to download the new version and run the setup to install the new version. The upgrade file to use is found at:
Download page

You may choose the Automatic upgrade package, or the Advanced upgrade package.

We also recommend that you backup your current EasyProjects folder and SQL database, before you begin the upgrade.

If you choose the Automatic, then click this download link to the far right of where you see Auto Installer, which will prompt you to download Setup.Exe, and so download it, remembering which folder/location Setup.exe was downloaded/saved to. Now find and double click on Setup.Exe which will launch the setup wizard.

There are two important aspects of this wizard to note:

1) Where your current Easy Projects .NET folder exists – you need to make sure the upgrade wizard will install into current Easy Projects .NET folder. The wizard chooses "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\EasyProjects" by default, but if this is not your current folder, then use the button to the right of the Target folder box to browse to the actual folder you are using.
2) Choose Upgrade and not clean install, as the install type.

Automatic installer is used for both 30-Day Trial and Upgrades from the versions 4.x, 5.x and 6.x.


The Advanced package which is located at
this link used for Trial and Upgrades within current version. If you are comfortable doing custom installations, then the Advanced package should be very straightforward for you.

Whichever package you choose, there is a documentation file on the Downloads page, which has detailed installation instructions. This document is simply an outline of issues particular to upgrading your version of Easy Projects .NET.
