UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
for
Upgrading to CFT-Win Version 2.50 for Windows 95/98/NT
------------------------------------------------------
Cumberland Family Software, www.cf-software.com
This step is needed for ALL upgrade options if downloading from the
internet: Unzip download file (cftw250x.zip) to a temporary folder
(such as c:\temp).
Option 1: Upgrading from an earlier CFT-Win Ver 2 for Windows 95/98/NT
Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win
diskettes. Make sure to install to the same directory/folder as the
older version resides (normally c:\cftw). When prompted to add icons
to Start Menu, check the box to NOT add the icons, since you already
have them there. Press OK to continue when asked for second disk.
(Make sure to swap disks if you have the second disk. If installing
from downloaded file simply press OK.)
Option 2: Upgrading from CFT-Win Version 2 for Windows 3.1
Before running INSTALL.EXE remove the icons from the Start Menu. You
can do this by pressing Start -> Settings -> Taskbar and clicking on
the Start Menu tab. Press the Remove Button and remove the "Cumberland
Family Tree" grouping. (This step is necessary because the program
executable is cftw32.exe for the new program and cftw16.exe for the
old program. Without this step the icon will continue to run the old
version of the program.)
Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win
diskettes. Make sure to install to the same directory/folder as the
older version resides (normally c:\cftw). Press OK to continue when
asked for second disk. (Make sure to swap disks if you have the second
disk. If installing from downloaded file simply press OK.)
Option 3: Upgrading from CFT-Win Version 1
Before running INSTALL.EXE remove the icons from the Start Menu. You
can do this by pressing Start -> Settings -> Taskbar and clicking on
the Start Menu tab. Press the Remove Button and remove the "Cumberland
Family Tree" grouping. (This step is necessary because the program
executable is cftw32.exe for the new program and cftw.exe for the old
program. Without this step the icon will continue to run the old
version of the program.)
Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win
diskettes. Make sure to install to the same directory/folder as the
older version resides (normally c:\cftw). Press OK to continue when
asked for second disk. (Make sure to swap disks if you have the second
disk. If installing from downloaded file simply press OK.)
When you first open a Ver 1 database the program will automatically
detect the old file layout and do a conversion. SO be prepared to wait
for each of your old databases to be converted the first time you open
one.
Option 4: Upgrading from CFT-Pro for DOS
Do not remove the old CFT-Pro program or databases until you feel
assured that you have properly transfered all your databases.
Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win
diskettes - as though this were a new installation. Create a New
Database in CFT-Win. Go to the File Menu and select the Import/Export
Options and select the CFT-Pro Import. Selecting your old CFT-Pro
databases and import them to the new program.
Option 5: Upgrading from other Genealogy Software Programs
You must create a GEDCOM file from your old genealogy software
program. Please refer to the Help or printed manual for your old
program for instructions on how to do this.
Run INSTALL.EXE either from the temporary folder or from the CFT-Win
diskettes - as though this were a new installation. Create a New
Database in CFT-Win. Go to the File Menu and select the Import/Export
Options and select the GEDCOM Import to bring in the GEDCOM file created
by your old program.
