Obtaining the Update

Please log in to the Client Support Portal to download the upgrade installer. Click AuditWizard in the Update menu on the left-hand side. The release page contains a link.

If you are using an earlier version than 8.3.0, you will find a link to the 8.3.0 update on the release page.

Test Installation

It is highly recommended that you implement a Test Installation and upgrade it before committing the new version to your live system. Failing this, if your server is virtual, snapshot it before upgrading so that you can roll back if necessary.

Procedure

Do not uninstall AuditWizard prior to upgrading. This is an update, not a full installer.

If you have a Multiple User installation, update the server first, then the clients.

  1. In AuditWizard, ensure that Database Purging is disabled.
  2. Back up your database
  3. Conditional, for installations earlier than 8.3.0: Right-click the installer AW830p.exe and select Run as administrator. This will avoid permission issues.
  4. Run the installer AW845p.msp and follow instructions.
  5. Redeploy the Scanner and/or Agent. Instructions:
