Upgrading from Previous Releases
Note To upgrade to Version 6 of the toolbox, it is recommended that you first
uninstall any previous version of toolbox.
Maintaining Multiple Releases of Toolbox
To maintain different releases of the toolbox on a single system, consider the
following:
• Multiple versions of Release 5 or higher cannot be installed on one system.
The installation directory for Release 5 or higher of the toolbox is chosen only
once, the first time that the Control System Solutions products are installed. The
default directory is C:\Program Files\GE Control System Solutions.
• There is only one set of toolbox options settings for a given user on a given
computer. There are several toolbox options settings that may need to be unique
to a particular release of toolbox. For example, Release 4 of the toolbox would
probably need a different directory setting for standard library .tre files than that
of Release 5 or 6. In order to use multiple releases, it is recommended to use
different user accounts for each release.
• Opening a toolbox file from the Windows Explorer is not recommended if
multiple copies of toolbox are installed. When you open a file from the
Windows Explorer, the application that starts up depends on what is registered
for that file type. Releases of toolbox prior to Release 5 register each time they
execute. Release 5 or higher of toolbox, however, registers only at installation.
• Modifying a toolbox file can make the file unusable to older releases of
toolbox. A warning dialog displays when the toolbox opens a file that was
written by a previous release. Do not save the file if it must be used by the
previous release.
