iPunch Version 7 and 8 Updates and Extras |
|
Instructions for Updating iPunch Version 7 or 8
1. Download the appropriate update file from one of the
links below. If you purchased Version 7 (serial number 4120
and below), download the install file for Version 7, and
vice-versa for Version 8. To do so, right-click on the
appropriate link and choose "Save Target As" from the menu that
appears. Choose the directory into which you'll be saving
the file and choose Save. It is recommended that you
download it to a location on your hard drive, not your desktop or
floppy. BE SURE TO REMEMBER WHAT DIRECTORY YOU SAVED IT
INTO. Also note that the file is approximately 5Mb and is
too large for a floppy diskette. If it needs to be transferred to
another computer, burn it onto CD or other high-capacity storage
format such as zip drive or USB drive. When finished, you
should have downloaded the following 2 files to a directory of
your choosing:
setup7_110703 or setup85_012904
dataset85.exe
2. Uninstall iPunch . If you already have
iPunch 7 and/or 8 installed on your computer, be sure to uninstall
this first by clicking on START, then SETTINGS or CONTROL PANEL,
and finally select ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. Remove both the
Texmac iPunch 7 and/or Texmac iPunch 8 program and iPunch 7 and/or
8 dataset.
3. Find the master/key file or diskette containing this
file. If you don't have this, you may download it from
the section below entitled "iPunch Security File."
Save this to a floppy diskette and insert into the floppy drive.
4. Run the update file you downloaded. Just
double-click on the file, which should be named setup7_110703 or
setup8_012904. Follow the prompts of the install program
until the program installs fully. If the program fails to
install or launch, re-try the process carefully. Make note of any
errors that occur and contact us at 704.393.6558 or send e-mail to
softsupport@texmacusa.com.
5. Reinstall your program dataset. Do this by running
the dataset85 file that you downloaded.
