The pCon.update DataClient is continuously being enhanced, news features are added or functions improved. The DataClient updates itself, if necessary, allowing you to always work with the most recent version. During each update, the DataClient automatically searches for updates for itself and notifies you. You can then have the self-update function of the program executed automatically.
The self-update is done in three steps:
- Preparation
- Installation
- Finished
Click on one of the steps to obtain detailed information on the respective step.
Preparation
If an update is available for the DataClient, you are automatically notified of it.
It is recommended to directly install the DataClient update. Click the respective button. You can also skip the DataClient update and proceed with displaying the remaining updates. If you do not update the DataClient, you are notified again of the pending DataClient update upon each following update. Next step: Installation
Potential nonconformities
If you do not have the user rights needed for the installation of the pCon.update DataClient, a corresponding error message is shown. In this case, please contact your administrator to install the DataClient-Update. It is possible to skip the DataClient update for the moment.
Installation
During this step the DataClient update is downloaded and installed automatically. At the end of the operation, the DataClient update is closed automatically and started in the new version.
Following the DataClient update, the program continues the regular update process.
Next step: Finished
Finished
After the DataClient update has been updated successfully you get a confirmation message.
Potential nonconformities
If an error occurs during the update of the DataClient to a new version, all edits concerning the DataClient installation are reversed automatically and the previous version is restored. You will get an error message. In the majority of cases the cause of error is that a file or a directory could not be copied or deleted. In this case the error message contains specifics which file or which directory is concerned.
Potential causes are:
File or directory is still open (close all the programs and try again; restart your system and try again)
No sufficient rights of access (contact your administrator)
