To install an incremental update of a local cadett ELSA installation, you should follow the steps described below.
1.Place the downloaded update file (the EXE file) somewhere on the computer where cadett ELSA is installed, for example on the desktop, or in any other suitable folder.
Figure 2317: Here, the installation file has been placed on the desktop, but you can place it anywhere you like on your computer.
2.Exit cadett ELSA.
3.For maximum security, it may be advisable to take a backup copy of the entire ELSA directory including its sub-directories.
4.Start the EXE file, for instance by double-clicking it.
5.You are then typically elevated to administrator. (However, this varies dependent on how User Account Control - UAC - is configured on your computer). In that process you may have to provide user credentials for an administrator account, or simply confirm the elevation.
The figure below shows an example of how such a confirmation might look like. Please note that this may vary widely depending on security settings, company policies and other circumstances.
Figure 2318: Example of how the elevation might look like
6.When the installer has started, a dialogue box like the one shown in the figure below will be displayed. Provided that the revision number presented on the top is the one that you expect, you can click the Continue button. Otherwise, you must have selected the wrong file. Then click Exit and make the necessary corrections.
Figure 2319: The installer has started. Please note the version and revision number in the top.
7.The license agreement is presented on the screen, as shown in the figure below. Read all the details, discuss them with your lawyers, and then click Agree.
Figure 2320: The license agreement must be confirmed in order to proceed.
8.The installation package, which is delivered in a compressed format, will thereafter be unpacked. A temporary folder must be created for that purpose. In almost all cases, you can simply confirm the default, which is shown in the figure below. If this folder annoys you, or if you have limited space on your hard, you can delete it after the installation is finished.
Figure 2321: Here, you decide where the temporary files needed for the installation should be unpacked.
9.When you have confirmed which temporary folder to use, as shown in the figure above, the installation is extracted in that folder, as shown in the figure below.
Figure 2322: The files that are included in the update are extracted from the compressed installation file.
10.When the extraction is finished, a dialogue box informs you about that, as shown in the figure below. Please confirm with the OK button.
Figure 2323: All files of the update has been extracted.
11.You are informed that cadett ELSA must be closed down before you can continue, as shown in the figure below. When you have done that, please confirm with the OK button.
Figure 2324: If cadett ELSA is running, the installation cannot be done.
12.If you have not already created a fresh backup, it is a very good idea to create one now. Copy of the entire cadett ELSA main folder (C:\ELSA or similar) before you continue. You never know if and when it will be needed! The figure below shows the dialogue box that is displayed to inform you about this. Please confirm with the OK button.
Figure 2325: A backup is always a good thing!
13.A dialogue box like the one shown in the figure below will then be displayed. The actual installation can be started from there by clicking the Install button.
If the revision in question has already been installed, you will have the opportunity to install it once more using the check-box in the lower left corner of the dialogue. If it has not, that check-box will be greyed out, like in the figure below.
Figure 2326: Click "Install" to start the actual update.
14.The installation will then be performed. Detailed information the individual steps of the installation will be presented on the screen like shown in the figure below.
Figure 2327: The progress of the actual update procedure is communicated with this dialogue box.
15.When the installation procedure is finished, a dialogue box like shown in the figure below will be displayed. There, you receive basic information about backup copies of original files. Please refer to the Technical details topic for more information about that.
Click OK to continue.
Figure 2328: Information about the automatically created backup of replaced files is presented in this dialogue box.
16.You are presented with the option to view the revision history, which is a text file named REVHIST.TXT that contains detailed information about major changes between each revision, from the first versions of cadett ELSA and onwards until today. This text file is written chronologically, meaning that information about the revision that you have just installed is found in the end of the file.
As shown in the figure below, you can click Yes to view the file, or No to skip that.
Figure 2329: Click "Yes" to view the revision history, or "No" to skip it.
17. If you click Yes, REVHIST.TXT will be opened in Notepad, as shown in the figure below.
Figure 2330: "Notepad" is used to present the revision history when applicable.
18.The installation progress has then reached 100 %, and the final message - Ready! - is displayed, as shown in the figure below.
Click Ok.
