Updating FS Pro for Word

For updating FS Pro for Word, do as follows:

Step

Action
1

Uninstall (not "force removal") the current version of FS Pro for Word using Geek Uninstaller (recommended):

  • Locate the FS Pro for Word entry.
  • Right click on it.
  • Select Uninstall from the menu.

 

Note: If you don't want to install the Geek software, you can use any uninstall software tool on your PC. I.e.: the default Windows Software installation (Control Panel >> Apps and Features) 
2

If the following folder exists, go to the folder: C:\Program Files(x86)\Information Mapping:

 

  • Check in the "FS Pro 6\Data" folder: If there is a file SystemSettings.dat, you must back it up. Move the file to the desktop. (Note: If there is no SystemSettings.dat file, you can ignore this.)
  • Remove the folder FS Pro 6.
3
  • Go to the folder: C:\Users\[fill_in_windows_user_name]\AppData\Local\Information Mapping. (Note: [fill_in_windows_user_name] is the used account name on your local Windows system.)
  • Rename the folder FS Pro 6 to "FS Pro 6 - old".
  • Confirm any security messages you will get.
4 Download and install FS Pro for Word MSI.
5

Put the Systemsettings.dat file back under C:\Program Files(x86)\Information Mapping\FS Pro 6\Data (see Step 2)

 

Note: You can ignore this step if there was no SystemSettings.dat file.
