Keeping your ACRO software up-to-date |
|
ACRO automatically checks for updates every
time it starts provided you're online - just follow the
instructions. |
|
You do NOT have to uninstall ACRO before you do
this, just close it down if it is already running. Your existing ACRO contest, log,
work-files, photographs and support
files will all remain safe and untouched. |
|
ACRO
is a .NET Framework application created using Windows
Visual Studio.
During the installation process the Installation Wizard will
check that your Microsoft Windows™ .NET Framework is current, and if necessary will carry out all
necessary upgrades by accessing the internet and
fetching/installing the required material. This could mean a
several-MB download from Microsoft, depending on the current
status of the .NET Framework that is installed in your pc. |
|
If you do have problems operating the software which you think
may be due to the currency of your computer's VB.NET support software, you can download and install the most
recent version of the "Microsoft .NET Framework Redistributable
Package (x86)" separately - this is available from the
link below: |
