Updating ezEdit

1.If you have downloaded or otherwise received a revision for ezEdit, 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 ezEdit has been found and that it must be uninstalled (removed) before continuing with the update. If you see this prompt when updating ezEdit, 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 ezEdit 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.

You must have administrator privileges to perform an update on all supported operating systems.
