Upgrade using ZIEWIN Refresh Pack Update Installer

Refresh Pack Update Installer is a light weight installer that contains only the fixes developed after the release of ZIEWIN v1.1.0.0 base version. Each update installer is cumulative in nature; in other words, a new update installer will also contain fixes from the previous update installers. This requires ZIEWIN v1.1.0.0 base version or Refresh Pack installed.

Steps to Install Using the Start or Configure Sessions Online Utility:

  1. Ensure that the Base/Refresh pack is installed on the user machine.
  2. Extract the Refresh Pack Update installer zip to get the “HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows RP**.msi” and 'mziewin.cnf' files.
  3. The cnf is the upgrade configuration file that has the properties of refresh pack update installer.
  4. Copy the 'HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows RP**.msi' and 'mziewin.cnf' to the web server URL. This URL is provided by the user during the installation of the base/refresh pack or can be configured via the 'Preferences' utility.
  5. Invoke the 'Start or Configure Sessions - Online' utility, if the installed version of ZIEWin is lower than the Refresh pack update installer version then the user will be prompted to upgrade.
  6. Click 'Yes' to proceed with the upgrade.

Steps to Install manually:

  1. Ensure that Base or Refresh pack version is installed on the User's machine.
  2. Extract the Refresh Pack Update installer zip to get the 'HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows RP**.msi'.
  3. Double click the 'HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows RP**.msi' (The message, "Welcome to Installshield wizard for HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows RP**." is displayed).
  4. Click Next to go to the next panel.
  5. Click Next to proceed with the installation in the Ready to Install panel.
  6. Click Install and then click Finish.

When the ZIEWin Refresh Pack Update Installer is upgraded, the “Add/Remove Programs” shows both the latest Refresh Pack Update Installer version and ZIEWin base/refresh version.

As these Refresh Pack Update Installers are cumulative in nature, there will be only one Refresh Pack Update Installer installed in the system. If there is a lower version of Refresh Pack Update Installer already installed in the system, this update installer will uninstall the lower version before its installation.

If the Refresh Pack Update Installer is uninstalled manually, the ZIEWin version rolls back to its initial Base/Refresh pack version.

To uninstall the ZIEWin, it is recommended to always uninstall the Refresh Pack Update Installer first, followed by the base/Refresh pack version.
