- --- Important!!! ---
-
- Version 2.5 database files are backward compatible with
- version 2.3 and 2.2 files, but not with previous versions.
- When you install 2.5, your Gravity database files will be
- automatically converted to the new format if you are using
- an older version. If you want to be able to restore
- previous versions of the product, see the section below.
-
- --- Restoring Previous Versions Of Gravity ---
-
- When you install Gravity over previous versions, you are given an
- opportunity to create a backup of your previous database and settings
- so that you can restore them if necessary. If you backed up your
- database and settings, the steps for restoring a previous version are:
-
- 1) Print out these instructions (they will get removed by
- step 2).
-
- 2) Use the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs feature to remove
- MicroPlanet Gravity.
-
- 3) Re-install the older version you want to restore
- (e.g. 1.1 or 2.0). Be careful to re-install into the
- directory where it was previously installed.
-
- DURING INSTALLATION OF THE PREVIOUS VERSION, YOU WILL BE
- ASKED IF YOU WANT TO RUN GRAVITY. ANSWER NO TO THIS
- QUESTION AND EXIT OUT OF THE INSTALL.
-
- 4) Locate the directory where the backup was made. The
- default location is c:\Program files\Gravity\Backup.
- Run GravityBackup.exe from that directory to restore the
- backup file (.grv) that you created.
-
- 5) Run your older copy of Gravity to confirm that it performs
- correctly.
-
- Note : When you upgrade from 1.1 or 2.0 to Gravity 2.3, the
- installation script renames the directory to "Gravity" from
- "Anawave Gravity." If, after restoring your previous version, you
- no longer need the backup program and file that was created, then
- you should remove the Gravity directory so that future versions of
- Gravity can install properly.
