Installation Notes:
 

PERFORM A FULL BACKUP OF ESC BEFORE UPGRADING THE SOFTWARE.

These are both full version downloads of ESC. Once downloaded, double-click on the .exe file (ESC50133CS.exe or ESC50133SU.exe). This will start the installation of the new version of ESC. Select the "Remove" option first if you are already running a previous version of ESC. Once the removal process has been completed, double-click on the same .exe file again (ESC50133CS.exe or ESC50133SU.exe), and it will start the installation of the new version. Follow the default prompts. This same procedure must be done on every computer that is running a previous version of ESC.

Upgrade for Existing Customers

You must be running Version 5.1.x to properly
download and install these patches.
If you are below Version 5.1.0, 
it will make your software unusable.

Download time is approximately 20 minutes with a 28K - 33K modem. After you have downloaded the file to the hard drive on your server, exit the ESC software.  Then locate the file with Windows Explorer, and then double-click on the filename.  Click on "Unzip" and it will unzip the files into their proper directories.  Run the ESC software, and the data conversion will begin automatically.  If someone is still logged in at this point, the software will notify you, and the data conversion will not occur at this time.  Data conversion will take approximately 1 to 10 minutes. 

This same .exe file may be shared on the network so that all computers using the ESC software can be updated in the same way.  Versions on all workstations need to be the same version.  Make sure that all other programs are closed, and that no one else is running ESC when these upgrades are being performed.  Do not try to log in to the server while it is converting the data.
