#The popular approach recommended by Mark | #The popular approach recommended by Mark [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=141763#p141763 (see this post and others in other topics)] is to rename your current install directory, then unzip the new release, letting it create a new '''CumulusMX''' folder (or whatever name you prefer and specify in unzip options). Copy across '''Cumulus.ini''' and '''string.ini''' into that new directory, and then copy the contents of the '''data''' and '''Reports''' directories from your ''current install'' to the new install. Don't forget to copy any other set-up files across too. | ||
#However, if you have a lot of set-up files, if you are downloading on a different device, or on a different disc to where you are running MX, then after downloading simply copy the changed files into the existing MX directory on the device where you run MX. Then you know all your existing files are there, and you can choose to only change the minimum number of files as specified in the release notes (on [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887 this forum] or in [[Cumulus_MX_formal_release_versions|Wiki here]]). | #However, if you have a lot of set-up files, if you are downloading on a different device, or on a different disc to where you are running MX, then after downloading simply copy the changed files into the existing MX directory on the device where you run MX.
