After you have installed any TKE PowerTool or MicroTool, you need to immediately update it. TKE updates its products at irregular intervals, depending on demand and reported bugs or requested enhancements. Therefore, it is important to look now and then to make sure that any update that has recently appeared is incorporated into your TKE products. In particular, changes to PlansPlus and any of its MicroTools may require that both be updated in order to keep them in synchronization.
Updates for all PowerTools and MicroTools are to be found on the TKE Updates Page. Also listed there are links to the change pages, so you can see what changes have been made in any update.
After you download an update, simply double-click on the downloaded icon (where ever it is located) and follow these steps:
The splash screen will be displayed, introducing you to the update process. Click Next.
The next screen notifies you that the update and the updated PowerTool or MicroTool continue to be protected by the license agreement that governs the use of the original product. Click Next.
The updater must be directed to the Punch! Main Folder. Note that the pathname in the Directory edit box is a dummy; it will not work by itself. It is only there because a default name is required. The actual path to the Punch! Main Folder will depend on the Punch! product installed and whatever custom install you may have done when you installed Punch!. In order to browse for that folder, click on the MENUOICK(...) button, and browse to the folder. If it was installed in it's default location, it will be at c:\Program Files\Punch! <program name>, but it may have been installed anywhere on the hard drive. Once the browse has located it, click on OK and the pathname to the folder should be displayed in the Directory box. Click on Next.
If all is well, and the updater verifies that the version of the program you have directed it to is indeed able to be updated by the updater, then you will see this dialog. Click Next.
The updater does the actual update, and displays the results. Click Next.
The company that produces the updater software displays an ad page; click Exit.
