Upgrading from Version 1.4.5 or earlier

Because versions before 1.4.6 used a different installer and a different default installation directory, it
is necessary to perform the following steps:

Note: Before starting Topaz make sure that “Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 provided by GE” has been installed using

the Topaz CD and the wizard has been run to complete the installation. If you have IE 6.0 already installed on your
computer, check if the title bar states “Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by GE”. If not, you must install the
Virtual Machine that is located on the CD. For more information, see

Installing Virtual Machine

on page 8.

1. Before installing the new software, perform a complete Backup of the system. Navigate to

the Control tab and select Back Up\Restore. The following page displays.

2. Select the Drive letter for the location where the files are to be backed up from the drop-

down list of available drives. (C: E: F: etc.).

3. After the selection has been made, click Back Up - Don’t Reset Logfile to start the backup

process.

Note: We recommend when you backup the system for an upgrade, that you do NOT reset the log. This allows the

current log to be imported into the new 1.4.7 version of Topaz making past events available.

A window displays Operation in Process, indicating that the backup has begun.

4. Click OK
