Upgrade cleanly from an earlier version

  1. Uninstall your existing version via the Windows Control Panel like any other program.

    Like most programs, folders that were either created after installation, or folders were modified after installation won't be automatically removed.

    If you like to keep things tidy, then remove the following

    1. Go to C:\Program Files\EZAudit – or Program Files (x86) if on a 64-bit version of Windows – and delete the folder and subfolders.
    2. Go to the following location based on your version of Windows:

      On XP/2003 - C:\Program Data\EZAudit\nn  where the "nn" is your old version number
      On Vista/Windows 7/Server 2008 - C:\ProgramData\EZAudit\nn where "nn" is your old version number

      If you have any reports under the Reports subfolder there that you want to keep, back them up to someplace else.

      Delete the folder that is numeric, like "11" for Version 11, and all the subfolders.
  2. Install the full E-Z Audit package from www.ezaudit.net/download
  3. In the Admin console, click the Tools tile and select the Configuration tool.  Create a new configuration file and save it to the share on your network where the old one is located.  The tool will copy the new modules to the share (ezstart.exe, ezscan.exe and ondemand.exe).

    1. Note:  If you are using On-Demand now, you will need to stop any running instances before you can do the above. 
    2. Open the Admin console and click the Tools tile, then open On-Demand.  There, click the link to stop running instances of On-Demand
  4. You can convert old format audits to Version 14 format via the Menu > Edit > Convert audits option.  Note the following important points:
    1. You should back-up the old format audits before conversion.  The converter will delete them as part of the process.
    2. You should not have a mix of old and new audits.  Conversion is intended primarily so you can get access to data until all your PCs are re-audited with the new version.
    3. As such, once converted, consider moving them to a new folder.  You can access them from the Admin console by selecting that folder.
