Updating and upgrading

How to update an existing GeoDin installation to a newer version, and how to keep the GeoDin Help files current from inside the Help window.

Update an existing GeoDin installation

Use in any case a different directory for the installation of the actual GeoDin version than your previous version of GeoDin and carry out the steps of the installation as described above. Start GeoDin system after the installation and apply the changes on object types, dictionaries, measurement value structures etc., which were carried out in your previous version of GeoDin. For this change to System and click on the entry System configuration. Start the system adjustment by double-clicking the method icon.

Updating the GeoDin Help files

The GeoDin Help content evolves alongside the program, so it should be updated regularly alongside GeoDin itself. There are two ways to update it:

1. Click the Online-Update button in the top toolbar of the Help window.
2. Or update manually: download the language archive (for example german.zip) from the help update location, then replace the same-named zip archive under ...\Help\RTF\ in your GeoDin installation, without unpacking it.
