Question: How do I install a new version of Foxhound?
Answer:
Note: A successful installation overwrites existing files. It is your responsibility to
make a backup of your existing Foxhound installation if you want one. The simplest way to make a complete
backup is to stop the Foxhound engine, then make a copy of the entire Foxhound1 folder and subfolders...
do this BEFORE installing the new version of Foxhound. Here is where the folder is located on Windows XP and Vista:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound1
C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1
To install a new version, first you have to run the Foxhound "unsetup" process:
Click on start - All Programs - Foxhound1 - Tools - Unsetup Foxhound
The next step is to install the new version; see How do I install Foxhound?
If you forget to run unsetup first you may see this message:
Another version of this product is already installed.
Just run unsetup and try again.
Note that the post-setup process will try to copy and upgrade the data stored in your existing Foxhound database before overwriting it.
Caution: If you are using the Windows Vista Task Scheduler to take regular backups of your Foxhound database using
the technique described here,
you should reboot your computer after installing a new version of Foxhound; see
The $backup_foxhound1.bat file looked for a path specification in the FOXHOUND1 environment variable and it was empty.
