It will contain a file called "hurricane x.x.x.exe" (the x.x.x is the version number) 2) UnZIP the "hurricane x.x.x.exe" file into your existing ../Hurricane/ directory (Wether you have installed Hurricane locally or on the Network doesn't matter). 3) Open the ../Hurricane/ directory and rename your existing (old, or original) "hurricane.exe" to "hurricane y.y.y.exe" (the y.y.y is the old version you are upgrading from) 4) Rename the newly added "hurricane x.x.x.exe" to just "hurricane.exe" (and all your existing shortcuts should now run the updated file). This is especially important if you have a number of users running "hurricane.exe" from the network drive. [i] -You may notice a discrepancy in the file sizes between a core "hurricane.exe" and a patch "hurricane.exe". The core is usually 1.2Mb, and the patch is under 700Kb. This is because the core version contains a number of support files that are unpacked in realtime You may need to run the core hurricane.exe (1.2Mb) on a virgin machine (only once) to properly setup the system-[/i] Of course, if you have any questions, please write!
