Upgrading TapeMaster

Upgrading TapeMaster

Upgrading TapeMaster is a simple process that maintains your server connection and user details during the uninstallation of your current version and installation of the new release.

These instructions are for upgrading TapeMaster only, such as a stand alone install that accesses a Framework Server on a remote connection.

The TapeMaster Configuration file is not removed when TapeMaster is uninstalled. This ensures any modifications to this file will remain and will be used for the next installation, provided it is installed in the same location.

Download Installer

As some firewalls or security settings within your network may prohibit access to downloading the TapeTrack executable, it is always best to download the TapeTrack file before uninstalling your current version to maintain TapeTrack access.

Download the TapeMaster executable:

TapeMaster 64 Bit

Remove Current Installation

Ensure you have the system permissions required to install the new executable before uninstalling TapeMaster.
