Reinstall EstLite

All EstLite users may download and install, for free, the latest release of the software from our website - www.estlite.com

If you have set up prices, options, moulding table, customer and job database, they will not be affected by the upgrade. Simply run the downloaded file, estsetup.exe, and the new program will overwrite the old leaving all your settings and pricing data intact.

However you can reinstall and start with a "clean slate" by first removing the program using Add/Remove program from within your Windows Control Panel.


Update
From time to time EstLite is updated with new features, the latest release is announced in the EstLite forum - www.theframersforum.com. If you do not want to reinstall, or reset any of the default settings, you can have EstLite update itself automatically by simply pressing the Check for updates button while in Options/General. Although this method automatically does a Basic reinstall (see above), you can also do an Advanced manual reinstall using the downloaded file estsetup.exe which is located in the Windows temp folder (usually c:\windows\temp).

Important:
The Check for updates button may not work if Internet Explorer is not installed on your computer, or more specifically, the file WININET.DLL is not in c:\windows\system.
