Section-1: FAQs in ZIEWin v1 Refresh Pack update installer

  1. QUESTION:    What is the difference between a ‘Refresh Pack’ and ‘Refresh Pack Update Installer’?

    ANSWER:    Starting with version v1.1.1.0, HCL Z and I Emulator for Windows (ZIEWin) is shipped in two forms, as ‘Refresh Pack’ and ‘Refresh Pack Update Installer’.


    •   Refresh Pack is a complete installer image of the ZIEWin product, which can be installed independently. This does not require any previous version of the product.
    •   Refresh Pack Update Installer 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.


  2. QUESTION:    Can I install ZIEWin v1.1.0.0 (Base version) over ZIEWin Refresh Pack Update Installer v1.1.1.0?

    ANSWER:    No, we advise not to do this. The v1.1.1.0 Refresh Pack Update Installer allows this downgrade installation though.

    If you have done this accidentally, uninstall both the v1.1.1.0 Refresh Pack Update Installer and ZIEWin v1.1.0.0 (base version). Then proceed to install ZIEWin v1.1.0.0.


  3. QUESTION:    After installing ZIEWin v1.1.0.0, I have upgraded to ZIEWin Refresh Pack Update Installer v1.1.1.0. Can I directly uninstall the base version?

    ANSWER:    No, the base version should not be uninstalled without uninstalling the Refresh Pack Update Installer. If done accidentally, please uninstall the Refresh Pack Update Installer.


  4. QUESTION:    What happens when I install a newer ZIEWin Refresh Pack Update Installer over a previous ZIEWin Refresh Pack Update Installer?

    ANSWER:    The ZIEWin Refresh Pack Update Installer will be upgraded to the newer version. Both, the ZIEWin base version and the latest Refresh Pack Update Installer version are shown in Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel.
