Maintaining Older Configuration Details

[jussij]

When installing a newer version of the Zeus sofware, all the current Zeus configuration details will be lost. Fortunately it is fairly easy to maintain these older configuration details after upgrading.

The instructions below describe the safe way of maintaining the older configuration details:

(1) Assume the current Zeus is installed in this directory:

Code: Select all

\program files\zeus

(2) Rename your current Zeus installation directory as follows:

Code: Select all

\program files\zeus => \program files\zeus_old

(3) Run the newer version installalation program and install Zeus in the same directory as found in (1):

Code: Select all

\program files\zeus

(4) Backup the new zConfig and zScript directories as follows:

Code: Select all

\program files\zeus\zconfig => \program files\zeus\zconfig_bak
 \program files\zeus\zscript => \program files\zeus\zscript_bak

(5) Finally copy over the following directories from your original Zeus installation:

Code: Select all

\program files\zeus_old\zconfig => \program files\zeus\zconfig
\program files\zeus_old\zscript => \program files\zeus\zscript

and just run the Zeus from the desktop icon.

If at any time you find problems with the newer release it is easy to recover the old installation by simply renaming the directories as follows:

Code: Select all

\program files\zeus => \program files\zeus_new
 \program files\zeus_old => \program files\zeus
