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.
