Important Instruction for Win Convert 5.1

· Visual Basic Runtime

Win Convert was written in Visual Basic 5.0.  It therefore
requires that the Visual Basic runtime libraries be 
installed before attempting to install Win Convert.  These 
libraries are not provided with Win Convert for several 
reasons.  One being some users may already have the Visual 
Basic runtime libraries on their machines.  By not 
including these file users do not have to download the 
extra one megabyte in file size that the Visual Basic 
runtime libraries would require.  Another reason is that 
these runtimes are readily available from various FTP 
sites where the most recent versions can be found.  
Some of these FTP sites are listed below.

· Updating from a previous version of Win Convert.

	If you downloaded the full install version of Win 
	Convert, then I recommend you uninstall the previous 
	version first, but save your current Conversion 
	Database to a different name or directory first if 
	you wish to keep it.  Otherwise, if you just 
	downloaded the update from version 5.0 to version 5.1, 
	then you can install this update over your previous 
	version.  YOU CAN ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE UPDATING
	FROM VERSION 5.0 TO VERSION 5.1.  If you have any 
	earlier version installed, you must first uninstall it.
