Before you install the latest version, first uninstall the version currently on your computer. This is completely safe as it does not remove your database or your current program settings.

Follow these simple steps to remove the current version:

1. Click the Start button located on your Taskbar.

2. Click on Control Panel to bring up a window like shown below.

3. Click on the Add/Remove Programs icon to bring up the following window.

4. Scroll down the list of applications until you find Vehicle Maintenance and double click it.

5. When the uninstall begins, click the Yes button to proceed.

6. If you are asked if you want to keep any system files, click Yes to All.

7. That's it! Now you can close the Add/Remove Programs Properties window and the control panel and install the newest version.

Installing the Current Version

Beginning with version 2.0.0, the look of the installation program has changed quite a bit. It takes advantage of Windows Installer technology to insure that you have the latest core Windows components to run your software.

Close Any Applications

Before you begin the installation, make sure any applications you have running have been closed.

Start the Install

To begin the installation, just click here to start the Vehicle Maintenance Install. You will see the Windows Installer setup window appear.

Will You Need to Reboot?

When the setup program is running, another check it performs is to insure that you have the current core Windows components necessary to run your application. If in the process of checking this it finds some to update and those files are in use by Windows, you will be asked to reboot your computer to update these items as seen below.

Here We Go!

Once you see the screen below, you are almost finished with the installation. Just press the Next button to proceed.

Select the Installation Folder

Now it is time to tell the install wizard where you want the program files to reside. Just press the Next button to proceed with the default folder name. If the folder does not exist, it will automatically be created for you.

Once you click Next, you will get one last chance to proceed or return to a previous screen to make corrections. Again, click Next to proceed.

Now sit back and watch as the application is copied to your hard drive.

Click Close to finish. That wraps up this phase of installing your software.

Now you're ready to begin!
