Instructions for installing ALERE Accounting 6.6 Patch:

Note: This update does not require that you install other patches first.

1. Unzip the update file to a temporary directory.

2. Have everyone exit ALERE Accounting, Manufacturing and any other linked programs.

3. If you have modifications in your WSHOOKS.DBF, APPEND the contents of the WSHOOKS.DBF included with the patch to the copy in your ALERE Accounting root directory. If you do not have modifications to your WSHOOKS.DBF, simply copy WSHOOKS.DBF to the ALERE Accounting root directory.

4. Copy the other unzipped files to your ALERE Accounting root directory.

5. Enter ALERE Accounting, Go to Manager> System Tools> TIW File Update.

6. Update all System Tables (Combo box at bottom of screen set to "System Tables Only") Note this only has to be done on one company.

7. When done with the update, completely exit the ALERE program.

8. Program update is complete.

 

OPTIONAL PATCH FOR WORKSTATIONS:

1. Run the program AC66SETUP_PATCH.EXE on individual workstations.

This should take care of a problem where workstations would not run the ALERE manual from within ALERE. It also solves an occasional problem with computers that give an error message sending emails.
