JP1 Version 11 JP1/Script Description and Reference (For Windows Systems)


2.1.6 Upgrade installation of JP1/Script

Upgrade installation installs a later version of JP1/Script than the one that is already installed. The existing JP1/Script installation folder and settings will be inherited after upgrade installation.

Important note
  • Before upgrading a version earlier than 10-00, back up the operating environment information and management files. An upgrade installation first uninstalls the existing version of JP1/Script. If an error occurs during uninstallation, the JP1/Script operating environment information and management files might not be installed again after they are deleted. If an error should occur during uninstallation, reinstall the previous version of JP1/Script, and then perform an upgrade installation again.

  • You cannot perform an upgrade installation for a version earlier than 08-00. You will have to uninstall the existing JP1/Script, and then install the new version of JP1/Script.

The following describes how to perform an upgrade installation of JP1/Script.

To perform an upgrade installation of JP1/Script:

  1. If the output folder for JP1/Script management files has been changed to a folder on the shared disk, make the shared disk online.

    If you install JP1/Script with the shared disk offline, automatic startup setting might be disabled.

  2. Log on with administrator permissions.

    If you logged on using an account without administrator permissions, installation will fail.

  3. Exit all active JP1/Script programs.

    Installation will not succeed unless all programs are terminated.

  4. Set the JP1/Script installation medium.

    The JP1/Script Install dialog box appears.

  5. Check the program that you want to upgrade, and then click the Next button.

  6. Click the Install button.

    Installation starts, and the dialog box indicating the progress of installation appears.

  7. In the Install Complete dialog box, click the Finish button.

  8. Restart the computer.
