Installation

• If an old version has already been installed, it is recommended to uninstall it before installing ver.1.30. In the case that the old version is uninstalled, the existing design files in the C:/BES/Design folder will not be deleted and still can be opened from the new version. In the case that you install ver.1.30 to a different folder from the folder that the old version was installed, it would be better if the design files in C:/BES/Designs folder were copied to the Designs folder in the new folder. Also, if a shortcut icon has been created on the Windows desktop, it should be replaced to a new shortcut icon that is linked to the new application in the new folder.
• If you install ver.1.30 to a different folder without uninstalling the old version, you can use either one. However, you must run DRF12.EXE program that is included in the ver.1.30 CD before you start the old version.
