Installing XStudio
XStudio is distributed as a download-able installation program. The latest version of the software is always available on our web site on the XStudio product home page and the general downloads page.

2.Follow the instructions on each screen to install the software.
Updating XStudio
1.If you have downloaded or otherwise received a revision for XStudio, the process for updating the software is virtually identical to the initial installation. However, the installation dialogs may be a bit different. When updating, you are not typically given an opportunity to select the target folder for installation, as that choice has already been made in a previous installation.
2.You may be prompted that an old version of XStudio has been found and that it must be uninstalled (removed) before continuing with the update. If you see this prompt when updating XStudio, you should answer "Yes" to remove the old version, and if prompted to confirm the removal of the old version, again answer "Yes".
3.On occasion, updating XStudio may require some additional tasks be performed during the update. Such tasks might include validating and/or updating your registration and making adjustments to your preferences settings. If these tasks are needed, you will be prompted for any input required and notified if the update task could not be completed successfully.
4.When updating XStudio, the installation program will typically offer the option of backing up the existing program and support files before performing the actual update.

Special Note on Updating XStudio: When updating the software, be aware that if you deselect a set of files or an option for shortcuts that were a part of the original installation, the files and/or shortcuts are not removed. However, selecting a previously-unselected option does add the files and/or shortcuts. If you need to remove a previously-installed option, use the standard uninstall procedure, followed by a new installation. So long as the new installation is placed in the same folder as the original, no data or preference settings are lost. |
To Uninstall XStudio
To remove XStudio from your PC, select the Control Panel applet Add/Remove Programs. Select XStudio and click on the [Remove] or [Uninstall] button. Follow the prompts to uninstall the software.
|
When uninstalling XStudio, only files originally installed are removed. Event log files, your preferences files and any backup files are not removed. See the List of Files topic for more information on files that are installed or created by XStudio. |
Notes for Novell Netware Users
1.XStudio must not be installed on a Novell Netware server volume. Novell Netware is not compatible with the XStudio database engine and database errors will occur if you are using the default database configuration and attempting to run XStudio from a Netware volume.
2.Logs, audit files and audio files can be located on all versions of a Novell Netware server. The logged-on user must have the appropriate user rights for the volumes and folders used.
3.The latest Microsoft operating systems, starting with Vista, do not include a Netware client. This means that you cannot directly access a Novell Netware server with a PC running these operating systems. A possible workaround is to implement usage of Microsoft's Gateway Services for Netware, available on Windows 2000 Server. However, using Gateway Services for Netware may negatively affect performance.
