If upgrading from Product Scope 32 PRO Version 4.0, use Upgrade PRO V4 or Custom. If you 
choose Custom, do NOT select 4. Example Data Files. 

Custom - Setup Type - Install Notes

Import-Export Option is only usable for those with Unlimited Editing or Spreadsheet 
Registration Code

Software Components A, B, C, and D are automatically installed with Software 
component - 1. Main Program - Help Files. Individual installation for 
components A, B, C, D is explained in Path Management Strategies help topic.

Upgrading from V4 and using Custom

If upgrading from Product Scope 32 PRO Version 4.0, do NOT select 4. Example Data Files. 

4. Example Data Files installs a new Paths.TPS file. 

The path information stored in Paths.TPS is displayed in the Choose/Create Path 
(Path Management) window. This is a VERY important file to backup since it is a 
guide to all the data you have created with Product Scope 32 PRO.

Note: As a precaution, always backup this file - paths.tps - before installing 
or reinstalling the program. IF you run the install program, and choose to 
install the example files, paths.tps will be overwritten. While your previously 
created data files are not overwritten (except for anything previously created 
in the example file folder), your guide (at the Choose/Create Path window) to 
display the data file folders is overwritten.

Conversion - Product Scope 32 Bookmarks Data

If you are currently using a previous version of Product Scope 32 Bookmarks 
(Not Product Scope 32 PRO V4), do a Typical Install of 
Product Scope 32 PRO V4.5. Then use the following instructions.

Data created with a previous version of Product Scope 32 Bookmarks can be used 
with Product Scope 32 PRO. However, once the data is converted by the PRO program, 
it cannot be accessed by Product Scope 32 Bookmarks.

After the install for PRO, copy the PATHS.TPS file from previous Product Scope 32 
Bookmarks install folder to Product Scope 32 PRO install folder.

Product Scope 32 PRO will convert the data files as you access previously 
created data folders.

Product Data Format Changes

With this Version 4.5 release of Product Scope 32 PRO, the format for the 
products, vendors, and customers data files has changed, and an automatic 
conversion process takes place. As you access the data files created with a 
previous version of the program, the main program, Product Scope 32 PRO, will 
update and convert these files for you.

Program Occasionally Hangs during Product Update Process

Occasionally the program may hang during this update process while 
displaying - "Please Wait - Copying File". If this happens, Press 
CONTROL + ALT + DELETE. At the Close Program window, highlight 
Product Scope 32 PRO, and click on the End Task button. Restart 
Product Scope 32 PRO, and select the directory where the program hung and 
click on the Product button on the task bar. The program should now 
successfully update the product records.
