The service pack has been designed so that on a network system
it only has to be installed once by the administrator. As each user
starts their system the program will automatically detect the
update and prompt the user to install the update. The update
automatically determines the directories where the program and data
reside so that no technical knowledge is required to install the
update. On Windows Vista however the installation will only run
successfully if the user has administrative access rights on the
workstation.

Please note:
- Before installing this update please ensure that no users are
currently using any of the PTP Platform programs.
- That following the installation of the update you may be
prompted to re-start your machine. We would recommend that you do
re-start when prompted to do so.
There are two simple steps to install the update.
- Click the link below to run or download the file onto your
computer. We recommend that for your ease, you run the file
directly from our website.
- Follow the installation wizard to complete the
installation.
Alternatively you can use the save this program to disk
option within the File Download window. When the file has been
downloaded click the 'Close' button on the Download Completed
window and disconnect from the Internet. Use Windows Explorer or
the 'Start' then 'Run' command to locate and run the file.
This will start the installation wizard.
As each user starts their Platform programs they will be
informed that their system needs updating and given the option to
update immediately. The user only has to confirm that the update is
to be installed - no technical knowledge is required.
