RE: WP34s and 31s: Updating the emulator while preserving all data

Before installing the update, copy the file wp34s.dat from the wp34s-vers/trunk/windows/bin directory to a safe place where it won't get overwritten by the update. Good timing here! Was going to post a similar question but thought I had created my own mess. Barry's answer confuses me further with the stated file locations deep into some install path. Maybe I've had the 34S emulator installed improperly all along? I don't recall my setup process some years ago, but I have all the emulator files (.exe, .dll. .bmp. .pdf, .dat, .ini, etc.) in a single folder, and when updates come out I just replace the .exe and it seems to work fine (latest installed is ver 3678 from last July). By coincidence, yesterday I ran across the new version and opened the zip, and like you Dieter, was a bit confused about what to update with what. So, for setups like this (all prior verison files in one folder) what is the recommended update procedure? The newer QT-based version comes with files in a variety of folders (skins, images, program, etc) but no installer per se. I can manually copy/move files as needed, so not complaining about lack of installer, just confused due to new apparant structure. Should I create a wholly new folder tree with the same structure as the zip and then just overwrite with my existing .dat file? --Bob Prosperi |
