The CDUPGRD.EXE program allows you to upgrade an older version of the DAPtools CD to a newer version. You need the following three files and the original DAPtools CD to perform the upgrade.

CDUPGRD.EXE
MSLPATCH.DLL
Patch file of the form TXXX_YYY.RTP (see Instructions, step 1)

Instructions

Download the appropriate self-extracting zip file to a temporary directory, referred to here as <TEMPDIR>, and run it. The naming convention for the self-extracting zip file is as follows: TXXX_YYY.EXE.
- The first letter T is the DAPtools CD type where 'B' is for DAPtools Basic, 'S' is for DAPtools Standard and 'P' is for DAPtools Professional.
- XXX is the old version, i.e. if you have version 3.00 of the DAPtools CD then XXX is 300.
- YYY is the new version to upgrade to, i.e. if you want to upgrade to version 3.51 then YYY is 351.
- When you run TXXX_YYY.EXE, it will extract the three files listed above: CDUPGRD.EXE, MSLPATCH.DLL, and TXXX_YYY.RTP.
For example, if you have the DAPtools Basic 3.00 CD and you want to upgrade to DAPtools Basic 3.51, the file you download is B300_351.EXE. You can only upgrade within the same CD type (DAPtools Basic <OldVer> to DAPtools Basic <NewVer>, etc.) and cannot upgrade from one CD type to another (DAPtools Basic <OldVer> to DAPtools Standard <NewVer>, etc.).
Insert the DAPtools CD type that you have (DAPtools Basic, DAPtools Standard or DAPtools Professional) into the CD-ROM drive.
Run <TEMPDIR>\CDUPGRD.EXE.
Specify the entire directory and file name of the patch file in 'Patch File Name'.
Specify the 'Destination Directory', referred to here as <DESTDIR>, to copy the DAPtools CD image and apply the patch.
Select the 'Run Setup Launcher After Upgrade' checkbox if you want to automatically run the Setup Launcher after a successful upgrade.
Select the 'Upgrade' button. If successful, you will see 'Status: Completed upgrade'.
If you chose not to automatically run the Setup Launcher in step 6, you can manually run it at any time from <DESTDIR>\SETUP.EXE.
