Special Installation Notes

Upgrading from Home Prospector 97c to 97d

Home Prospector 97d has many upgrades from the previous versions (97c, 97b, 97a and 97 original). To make use of these upgrades everyone who is upgrading to 97d must run the automatic update to your Home Prospector Data.mdb file that is placed on your Start Menu as Home Prospector 97d Update.

3  STEPS TO UPGRADE:

1. Home Prospector Data.mdb file must be in it's default installation directory;
C:\Program Files\HBW\Data
If it is not there because you have installed it somewhere else, you must create that directory and move the file there. Once the update is complete you can move Home Prospector Data.mdb back to your installation directory and delete the directory created above.
2. Click Upgrade Now (do it only once, it completes quickly and closes this down)
3. You can then remove the update link from your Start Menu and delete the file from your hard drive;

C:\Program Files\HBW\Data\HPro Update 97d.mdb


Note:

·	If you have already done this upgrade or are using Home Prospector 97d for the first time you have no need to do the upgrade so simply do #3 above (remove the link and file).

Earlier Home Prospector releases:
* All Home Prospector version releases will install over the previous version without deleting your data file.
* HomesByWatson 97 registered users are also registered for Home Prospector 97.


Previous HomesByWatson 97 Users:
* If you began using Home Prospector when it was called HomesByWatson please complete the following in the below order:
* Back up the database file Secure HomesByWatson.mdb
* Rename your database file Secure HomesByWatson.mdb to Home Prospector Data. Do this by opening Microsoft(C) Windows Explorer and find the folder c:\My Documents\HomesByWatson\. Click on the file once, it will highlight within a box, type in the new name and press enter.
* Through control panel remove all previously noted installations of HomesByWatson 97. Renaming your database file stops it from being removed in the uninstall procedure.
Obtain the current Home Prospector and Home Prospector Data files from our Internet site and install them. New installations of Home Prospector Data will not overwrite your previous data file.


Default installation directory:
* Do not change the default installation directory of Home Prospector or the programme will become inoperable.
Default directory is c:\My Documents\HomesByWatson. 


If you have Microsoft(C) Access 95 already installed:
* Double clicking directly upon the Home Prospector data files in Microsoft(C) Windows Explorer will not start the programme properly due to the security file. Use the Start Menu under Programs|Home Prospector to start the programme. 
* You gain access to right clicking and database replication.


If you have Microsoft(C) Access 97 already installed:
* Install the Microsoft(C) Access components for version 95, which are included with the Home Prospector installation programme. 
* Home Prospector is based upon Microsoft(C) Access 95 (version 7.0a). 
* Home Prospector 98 will use Microsoft(C) Access 97 (version 8).
* Home Prospector (Microsoft(C) Access 95) will install without overwriting Microsoft(C) Access 97.


Microsoft(C) Windows 95 components required:
* Install Microsoft(C) Windows Calculator
* Install Microsoft(C) Windows Dialer
* Install in C:\Windows
Home Prospector uses these programmes. 


Directory where your Microsoft(C) Windows is installed:
* Default Microsoft(C) Windows install is C:\Windows.
* If your Microsoft(C) Windows install is something like C:\Windows.000 or some other configuration. Remove Home Prospector through control panel, create the folder C:\Windows\System, then re-install Home Prospector.
