Updating to the current version of PWB v3

Post by Scott »

Step 1. Make a backup of your current PWB folder.

Step 2. Make a backup of your current PWB folder (it is important to make a backup).

Step 3. Extract and copy all the files from the PWB v3 Upgrade distribution over the files in your current PWB folder.

Step 4. If upgrading major versions (ex: 3.01.x to 3.05.x), update your INI file with the PWB INI Update utility included with PWB v3.

The best way to move to PWB v3 from PWB v2 is to start fresh. However the second best option is to do the following.

1. Start with a new PWB v3 folder.
2. Convert the INI file from PWB v2 to PWB v3 with the INI Update utility (included with PWB v3).
3. Copy the INI file into the PWB v3 folder.
4. If using a filter, copy the filter file from the PWB v2 folder to the PWB v3 folder.
5. Edit the PWB v3 message files to meet your needs. PWB v3 uses HTML messages files, see the samples included with PWB v3.
6. Edit the paths in the updated INI file to use the files from step 5.
7. Use PWB v3 from the new folder
