The Getting Started guide (Get_Started.pdf) provides all the information you need to successfully install Central 5.7, as well as an overview of how the software works.
Upgrading a Previous Central Installation
Upgrading from a previous version of Central to version 5.7 is not possible. The Setup program will not let you install Central 5.7 if it detects a previous version on your system. Previous versions of Central must be uninstalled before you can install Central 5.7.
Uninstalling Central
When you uninstall Central, the Uninstall program removes all files originally installed with the software. This includes files which you may have customized, such as the .jmd and .ini files. It is strongly recommended that you backup any customized files before you uninstall Central.
Uninstalling Central Versions 5.3 or 5.4
Central versions 5.3 and 5.4 contain a problem whereby uninstalling the software removes a section of the registry, specifically the Application branch of the event log. This problem impacts any user attempting to access the Microsoft Windows 2000 Application log from within the Event Viewer after the removal of Central. The following steps must be performed prior to uninstalling either Central version 5.3 or Central version 5.4 to prevent the problem:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application
