Read Me

Solo 4.0.9 is a maintenance update which delivers fixes to user reported problems with previous releases of the Windows version of the software. We encourage all users to update to this version by following the installation instructions found in the "Read Me.txt" document.

This Solo update can be used to update an individual machine or a number of machines by creating a network installation folder.

 

Creating a Network Installation with this update...

To run the Installer on a Windows network, copy the Solo key file from the first disk of the original installation disk set (it has a file extension of ".X1K") into the "Solo 4.x.x Update" folder.

Copy the folder to a network server volume. Instruct your users to mount the server volume, double-click the "Install.EXE" installation program in the update folder and follow the prompts to update their copy of Solo.
