Upgrade iGateway in Normal Mode—Windows

Important! You need super user (root or equivalent) access rights to install, upgrade, or uninstall iGateway on a Windows operating system successfully.

The following are differences between upgrading an existing iGateway installation and installing iGateway for the first time:

• If the existing version of iGateway is older than the version that is being installed, the installation wizard automatically upgrades with the newer version.
• The Custom Setup dialog shows iSponsors already installed as selected. If you install new iSponsors, select the iSponsors to be installed locally. The new iSponsors are installed in the current location of iGateway.
• You cannot uninstall an iSponsor that is already installed.
• If the existing version of iGateway is the same as the version that is being installed, the installation wizard provides you the following options:
  • Modify—Adds or removes one of the iSponsors
  • Repair—Locates damaged or missing files and repairs an existing install
  • Remove—Deletes the existing iGateway installation
• When upgrading, you cannot change the path where iGateway is installed.

To upgrade iGateway on Windows

1. Exit all applications that are running and using the iGateway service.
2. Navigate to the iSponsors folder on the DVD media and select the .exe for your operating system.
3. Save the .exe to your local computer.
4. Double-click the .exe file to begin the installation.

   The installation wizard opens.

   iGateway stops the iGateway service, upgrades your installation, and restarts the iGateway service automatically. No entry is created in the Start menu, Programs folder.
