Installing SilverFast 6.62r4 Update on a Mac

Postby Mahombi » Thu Mar 31, 2011 11:58 am

I have just downloaded the SilverFast Ai update from version 6.6.2r3 to version 6.6.2r4 on my Mac Pro. The instructions say to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one. Should I just drag the entire SilverFast Application folder to the Trash before installing the new version, or only certain files and folders within the original application? Or, would third party uninstalling software be a better way to go, to be certain of removing all of the application?

Dear Mahombi,

You can install the newest version without uninstalling the previous one, the older version will be overwritten. However, the preferences files will remain there from the older version and this sometimes might generate some erratic behavior. You can remove the folder with the prefs manually from:

MacHD/Users/Your name/Library/Preferences

Delete the folder named "LaserSoft Imaging"

WARNING: by deleting the folder mentioned above this line, you will delete all settings you have saved from previous versions and SilverFast will start with the factory settings.

Cheers
