Click here for the latest automatic upgrade program - this file is called upgrade.zip and you should download it into the c:\flexidex directory.

Next you have to unzip the file and there is two probable methods to do this:

1 - Winzip: if you have winzip you can find the file by opening My Computer and then the C: drive and then the flexidex folder or directory and you should see the upgrade.zip file as this is where you saved it.
Firstly you have to delete the upgrade.exe if it already exists in the flexidex folder.
Then if you 2 click on the upgrade.zip file it should open the winzip program and ask where you want to extract the files to - here you would select the c:\flexidex directory. (If your database is in any other drive or directory please substitute).
You should now see the setup.exe program and you can 2 click on this icon to install several files.
Then you should see the upgrade.exe file or icon and if you 2 click on this and follow your nose all the files will be updated. Thats all folks.

2 - Pkunzip: this is the dos version of winzip and can be run by going to start - programs - msdos prompt.
Then you change directory using
cd \flexidex
Then at the c:\flexidex prompt type
del upgrade.exe
This is to delete the previous upgrade program. Then type in
pkunzip upgrade.zip
Then type in
setup
this will start the setup program and just follow your nose to install all the rest of the files.
Lastly the setup program will have created an upgrade.exe file so just type in
upgrade
then you can type in exit to close the current dos window and you should be ready to go.
