updating Pegasus to new version (reposting with more info as recommended)

Thanks for the reassurance...it worked fine, first time.  I didn't need the back-ups.

Thanks for the reassurance...it worked fine, first time.  I didn't need the back-ups.

Is there a guide to updating Pegasus to newest version (4.63)?  I am

still running 4.41 and would like to update but am nervous!  Do I need

to uninstall current version first?  Backup all folders?  etc.  Is this

all covered in an auto-install which is part of the download?

For your security make backups / copies of:

  • C:\Drive_D\Programs\Pegasus
  • C:\Data, documents\PMAIL\MAIL

Download PM463, run it. The setup should recognize the old installation. If not, tell him about the old pathes to program (first) and user (second) directories.
