When the MiniProf for Windows software is installed on a computer which already contains a previous version of the software, there is a risk of loosing customized settings and configured parameters. The following procedure should be used to avoid this becoming a problem.

Before installation

Take a backup copy of the files listed below, all found in the MiniProf for Windows application folder. This folder is by default C:\MiniProf\MPW2, so beware that it could be different.

	•  C:\MiniProf\MPW2\mpw2.ini
	•  C:\MiniProf\MPW2\Config\*.*
	•  C:\MiniProf\MPW2\Template\*.* (1)
	•  C:\MiniProf\MPW2\Scheme\*.* (2)

1) If there are not made any changes to the standard templates, these files can be excluded from the backup.
2) If there are not made any changes to the standard schemes, these files can be excluded from the backup.

Installation

Perform the installation as normal, either using the CD or downloaded file, following the onscreen instructions.

After installation

Copy all the files previously backed up to the original locations to restore settings, schemes, templates, etc.
