SPARK - VERSION 2.0.20.60 (or higher) ========================= IMPORTANT: The 3rd number of the version-number indicates the List&Label-version. There are currently 2 versions: 12 and 20. For 12 you need files: - SPARK_UPDATE_2_0_12_NN.ZIP (where NN is the application-versionnumber) - Spark_General_Files-12.ZIP For 20 you need files: - SPARK_UPDATE_2_0_20_NN.ZIP (where NN is the application-versionnumber) - Spark_General_Files-20.ZIP A) NEW INSTALLATION OF SPARK ------------------------------------------------- If you do NOT have an existing Spark-version, then please use the Spark-CD (or CD as a file) to install the software. Oterwise follow the instructions below. B) UPDATING SPARK ----------------------------- If you want to UPDATE your existing Spark-version the following procedure is recommended. The update-files are in 2 zip-files: SPARK_UPDATE_2_0_20_52_XX.ZIP - These are the exe-files and language files. XX indicates the language: EN=English GR=German NL=Dutch. Spark_General_Files-20.ZIP - These are all other needed files (like ddl-files). NOTE: Here it is assumed the existing Spark-version is located in folder: C:\ABS\Spark. This can of course differ in your situation. 1. Make a backup of ALL files that exist in folder: C:\ABS\Spark\Bin to a folder like: C:\ABS\Spark\Bin\Backup 2. After you made the backup, remove ALL files from this folder: C:\ABS\Spark\Bin 3. Now you can put ALL update-files from the 2 zip-files in folder: C:\ABS\Spark\Bin 4. Copy files SPARK.INI and LABELS.INI back from the backup-folder to the folder: C:\ABS\Spark\Bin IMPORTANT: It is strongly recommended NOT to install Spark in the C:\Program Files-folder (or C:\Program Files (x86)-folder). Reason: This can give problems with finding/changing/storing the SPARK.INI-file because of security-issues handled by Microsoft Windows. Instead of that install Spark in a folder like 'C:\ABS'.
