WARNING:
DynamIP v3.50 uses the new VB6 (SP2) controls and runtime library. Installing DynamIP will upgrade various controls on your system. This might cause conflicts with some of your existing software. Hence, if you want to play it safe you should check out the page Required Files to see which controls (OCX) and dynamic link libraries (DLL) will be upgraded and then make backup copies of your old files BEFORE you install DynamIP!

The following assumes that you currently have a previous version of DynamIP v3.0x installed (including betas 1-11) or DynamIP v3.30/v3.31 final release! You need the file DynamIPv350.zip to upgrade.

1. If you customized your template files you should save them together with INI file (default file name DynamIP.INI) before you proceed with the installation.
2. Uninstall your old version of DynamIP.
   Note that you might have to manually unregister the control cmuTCP.ocx (instructions here) and then delete it from the directory ...\Windows\System (if your registry counter is out of sync the uninstall program will not clear away the old version which is going to create problems down the road - Information on how to fix your registry is available here.)
3. Copy the file DynamIPv350.zip to a temporary directory and unzip it.
4. Run Setup.exe to install DynamIP.
5. Note that the Installation Program copies new templates to the DynamIP installation directory (there are some new tags, (e.g. <!--IPlastknown-->, <!--WEBchat>). You can either use the new templates (recommended.) or add the new tags to your existing templates and then copy your own templates back to the DynamIP directory. The new tags are only needed if you want to use the new features (read about WEBchat setup here).
6. Copy your old DynamIP.INI back to the DynamIP directory. Although there are some new settings, your old INI file should work fine. It is probably a good idea to verify all the settings!

If you run into problems with the installation of DynamIP, please check out the section Installation Problems on the Trouble Shooting page before you send me e-mail.
