Upgrading from a version before 6.0
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 WriteBackExtreme version below 6.0.0', and press the next button.
Afterwards, please select the folder where WriteBackExtreme is currently installed, and choose whether you want to upgrade that installation, or to move it to a new location and upgrade it.
Press the browse button to navigate to where WriteBackExtreme is currently installed, and then press the next button. WriteBackExtreme 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 WriteBackExtreme as a service. If you have the checkbox selected, the WriteBackExtreme 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 WriteBackExtreme will do it's final internal setup, and register itself as a service if you chose to run it as one.
Congratulations! WriteBackExtreme has been installed, to continue to the Setup, leave the 'Run WriteBackExtreme' checkbox checked, and it will open automatically. To keep following the installation guide, proceed to the chapter License.

Your old files will be copied to the new location as well, and the update is installed on top of them.

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