Upgrading from a version before 5.0
When you first open MailScheduler, you will need to select whether you are doing a new install, or an upgrade. Here, please select 'Upgrading from MailScheduler version below 5.0.0', and press the next button.
Afterwards, please select the folder where MailScheduler is currently installed, and choose whether you want to upgrade that installation, or to move it to a new location and upgrade it.
Our recommendation is to use option 2 which moves the installation to a directory that is preferred by the Windows system.
Press the browse button to navigate to where MailScheduler is currently installed, and then press the next button. MailScheduler will install the update in the location where it was already installed.
For future updates, the install location will automatically be determined as the location chosen here.
After this part of the installer finishes, the installer will ask whether you would like to run MailScheduler as a service. If you have the checkbox selected, the MailScheduler server will run in the background, and will restart automatically should an issue occur.
After you have made your choice, press the next button, and MailScheduler will do it's final internal setup, and register itself as a service if you chose to run it as one.
Congratulations! MailScheduler has been installed, to continue to the Setup, leave the 'Run MailScheduler' checkbox checked, and it will open automatically. To keep following the installation guide, proceed to the chapter License
Press the browse button to navigate to where MailScheduler is currently installed, and then press the next button. This will bring you to the next page, which allows you to choose your Destination Folder, where the new version of MailScheduler will be installed. Your old files will be copied to the new location as well, and the update is installed on top of them.
For future updates, the install location will automatically be determined as the location chosen here.

Note: If you had previously manually set up MailScheduler to run as a service, the old service will be uninstalled, and the new service will be installed instead to prevent old versions from automatically starting up.

After confirming everything works as expected, it is safe to remove your old installation files, or you can keep them as a backup.
