INSTALLING AN MS-DMT UPDATE
The process for installation of a software update can be one of two methods as detailed below.
NOTE: If you have NOT previously installed an earlier MS-DMT version, then you MUST run the current
full install of MS-DMT before installing an update version.
1. With an existing MS-DMT installation that has been properly configured and tested, make
sure you save the existing MSDMT_32.EXE and DMT.DAT file to a safe location as the update
may have a changed DMT.DAT file structure, thus your existing DMT.DAT file will be considered
corrupt and will be over written if present by the new version when started.
2. Then after backing up your existing MS-DMT installation either write over it or create a new
sub directory to copy over all existing files before installing the updated files.
3. Depending on the update distribution contents, either run the INSTALL.EXE contained in the
partial install archive (MSDMTxxvxxxBxxxx_PI.ZIP) update or run the INSTALL.EXE if one exists or
just extract the files contents of an update archive (MSDMTxxvxxxBxxxx_UD.ZIP) into the sub
directory where MSDMT_xx.EXE was originally installed.
NOTE: Users of Vista or later should not copy or install updates into additional directories without first
uninstalling as the log files in the originally directory will likely be used by both installations.
