Updates Available
If there are updates available, you will be presented with a choice to get more information before downloading if you select Yes. Next you will see this window:
First, the module(s) to be replaced, CCDAutoPilot.exe in this example, are listed. You can see where the replacements will be installed. This is where the program is installed.
You can click on the "What's new in this version" link to be taken to a web site with the version history.
If you click OK, the updates will be downloaded, the module(s) will be replaced, and CCDAutoPilot will start with the new version. It is that easy!
Update Options
As described above, you can disable the daily update checking. This is handy if you are on a slow internet connection or do not have internet access. This condition can be changed at any time by checking the "Get Updates from Web" menu entry. Merely opening it changes the presence or absence of a check mark to the opposite state.
Regardles of the checked state of "Get Updates from Web", you can always immediately check for updates by selecting the Updates Now menu item.
No Internet Connection at the Observatory
In this case, you should install CCDAutoPilot on your home or office PC so that you can check for updates. Note which modules are replaced and in what folder they are located. Copy those files to an appropriate media (flash drive, CD-ROM), and copy those to the appropriate folder, usually
C:\Program Files\CCDWare\CCDAutoPilot3, overwriting those that already exist.
