<strong>VPAD</strong> <strong>Version</strong> 5 – <strong><strong>Install</strong>ation</strong> <strong>Instructions</strong><br />
(<strong>Upgrade</strong> for people who have been using <strong>VPAD</strong> <strong>Version</strong> 4.0.1 and wish to upgrade<br />
to <strong>Version</strong> 5)<br />
CAUTION: IF YOU DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING PRE-INSTALLATION<br />
REQUIREMENTS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE <strong>VPAD</strong> YOURSELF. CONTACT YOUR STATES TIP<br />
CHAIR FOR ASSISTANCE. A LIST OF TIP CHAIRS ARE ON THE WEBSITE.<br />
WARNING: Because of the increased inbuilt security in Vista and Windows 7 operating systems<br />
there can be an irrecoverable loss of data if the <strong>VPAD</strong> 5 installation program is run without first<br />
properly preparing the computer on which the installation is to take place.<br />
This is due solely to the new security features of Vista and Windows 7 and is not because of <strong>VPAD</strong><br />
4.<br />
Before upgrading to version 5, please ensure that a back-up has been made of the current<br />
database. Windows Vista and Windows 7 users, please refer to the Find and Backup a Virtualised<br />
<strong>VPAD</strong> Database (found on the <strong>VPAD</strong> website) before attempting to upgrade.<br />
There are TWO critical checks to be made before attempting to upgrade from <strong>VPAD</strong> 4 to <strong>VPAD</strong> 5.<br />
1. <strong>VPAD</strong> 4 Patch 1<br />
The <strong>VPAD</strong> 4 Patch 1 must be installed on the PC hosting the <strong>VPAD</strong> database (usually<br />
<strong>VPAD</strong>2000.mdb) prior to installing <strong>VPAD</strong> 5.0.0<br />
To check, log into <strong>VPAD</strong> 4 as an administrator then click on 'Tools' - if the Import and<br />
Export options appear in the dropdown box then Patch 1 has been installed. Keep in mind<br />
that the version number in the About screen of <strong>VPAD</strong> will not tell you if Patch 1 is installed.<br />
If Patch 1 has not been installed it can be downloaded from the <strong>DVA</strong> <strong>VPAD</strong> website.<br />
2. Windows Vista & Windows 7<br />
In certain circumstances data may be permanently lost when upgrading <strong>VPAD</strong> on<br />
computers hosting the <strong>VPAD</strong> database.<br />
Check List:<br />
� Is the computer hosting the <strong>VPAD</strong> database running the Windows Vista or the Windows<br />
7 Operating System?<br />
� Is the computer 'shared' - that is, does more than one person logon to this computer<br />
and use <strong>VPAD</strong>?<br />
� If the answer to the previous question is YES then is more than one WINDOWS<br />
username used to logon to the computer (NOT to login to <strong>VPAD</strong>)?<br />
i.e. Does more than one WINDOWS logon exist on the computer for <strong>VPAD</strong> users?<br />
IF THE ANSWER TO THE ABOVE THREE QUESTIONS IS YES, OR IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF<br />
THE ANSWER TO ANY OF THESE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPGRADE <strong>VPAD</strong>. CONTACT<br />
YOUR STATE TIP CHAIR FOR ASSISTANCE. A LIST OF TIP CHAIRS ARE ON THE WEBSITE.<br />
