Backup-up your current ezHealthWare folder to CDROM or other "safe" media

You are now ready to begin a “fresh” install to replace the older ezScriptWriter version.  If you are installing on a network, it is usually best to begin by installing on the computer that acts as your "server", for example the computer that holds the main ezScriptWriter database.  Begin by inserting the setup CDROM into your drive and follow the general installation instructions. 

Before running the new version, you must run the database upgrade utility (DBUpgrade.exe), if (and only if) it is supplied on the CDROM with the upgrade version of ezScriptWriter.  This utility makes whatever necessary changes that are required to keep your database current with the new version of ezScriptWriter software.  DO NOT RUN THIS UTILITY BEFORE YOU HAVE FINISHED INSTALLING THE NEWER VERSION OF ezScriptWriter SOFTWARE!  DO NOT RUN AGAIN AFTER YOU HAVE BEGUN USING THE NEW SOFTWARE!  Serious data loss may occur.  

 

NOTE:  If you are requested by tech support to uninstall your old version of ezScriptWriter, follow these instructions:

Uninstall any older copies of ezScriptWriter

·    Go to Control Panel

·    Select “Add or Remove Programs”

·    Select “ezScriptWriter” and proceed with removal

The patient and user databases are NEVER removed during automatic un-installation.  They will remain in the ezHealthWare folder, ready to be upgraded in the next steps.
