Upgrading from SNiFF+ 2.3/2.4 to 3.2 on Windows

SNiFF+ 2.3/2.4 can be upgraded to 3.2 by using the

setup.exe program that comes with SNiFF+ 3.2. The program automatically creates backup copies by adding the extension .old to files/directories that you might have changed except for the workingenvs directory. The program uses the old workingenvs directory so all your working environments information is retained.
To upgrade to SNiFF+ 3.2, please complete the following steps:

Start the installation by executing

SETUP.EXE in the setup/ directory on your installation CD-ROM or temporary installation directory. As installation directory choose the directory where SNiFF+ 2.3/2.4 is installed.

- You will then be asked whether you want to replace your existing SNiFF+ installation with SNiFF+ 3.2. Confirm the replacement. The following files/directories in %SNIFF_DIR% will be saved with an appended
.old extension:
license.dat
config\
integrations\
lib\
make_support\
symbol_API\
ws_support\

- Next, you will be asked if you want to create a program group. We recommend reusing the existing program group for SNiFF+, as there are new entries in SNiFF+ 3.2 that would otherwise not be installed.

- Acknowledge the default settings for the SNiFF+ specific environment variables and the PATH variable. Otherwise the upgrade will not work properly.

- Overwrite the extensions for .
proj and . shared when setup asks you about them.

- As the integration with Microsoft Developer Studio is newly implemented in 3.1 and above you need to answer the corresponding question with "Yes" if you want to take advantage of the new integration.

- Manually rename the file
SitePrefs.sniff.v23 in %SNIFF_DIR%\ to SitePrefs.sniff.old.

- When you start SNiFF+ 3.2 for the first time, the automatic upgrade will be performed by SNiFF+.

  | Note
  | If you prefer to uninstall SNiFF+ 2.3/2.4 before installing SNiFF+ 3.2 you can upgrade your Site- and User-specific settings also. Backup the original files (SitePrefs.sniff.v23 and .UserPrefs.sniff.v23) before uninstalling 2.3/2.4 and copy them to the new %SNIFF_DIR% directory. Then rename SitePrefs.sniff.v23 to SitePrefs.sniff.old as described in step 7 above.
