Bingo 3 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Unfortunately, I was a day early as I downloaded and installed the previous version of SimStarter. How do I update to version 1.3.0.1, do I uninstall the previous, and install the new, or install the latest on top of the previous?

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted September 30, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi Bill, I just used the installer and installed the new version above the existing one. Worked totally fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingo 3 Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Tom, I assume you mean on top of the old? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted September 30, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yes. Alternatively you can also enable the automatic update in the program settings of SimStarter NG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted September 30, 2016 Developer Share Posted September 30, 2016 Uninstall and reinstall. There are a lot of HowTos: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabre10 8 Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Capt. PERO, Could you be more specific on the 2 major UPDATE questions from v1.2 to v1.3: 1) Do I need to uninstall v1.2 before the update? 2) Can I use DATA from v1.2 in v1.3? I've read your general 'how to's about when it is a major update or bug fixes only, but the above 2 questions must always be unambiguously addressed in the release notes. Please advise here and kindly do that in the future updates. Thanks, Sabre10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted October 1, 2016 Developer Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yes. Just uninstall (do not delete files manually) - install v1.3. Works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERO, sorry, but it's an incomplete instruction again. Can I use the previous DATA folder from v1.2? I backed up DATA folder, then uninstalled v1.2 and then deleted SimStarter folder manually. Now, after the fresh install of v1.3 can I drop the DATA folder back to SimStarter and overwrite the default one? Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Capt. PERO 398 Posted October 1, 2016 Developer Share Posted October 1, 2016 Yes you can use the old DATA folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
