Upgrading an Existing Project

The AdvancedHMI solution is updated frequently in order to fix bugs and introduce new features. The downside is this generates many versions which are difficult to support. If a user finds a bug, it is generally recommended to upgrade to the latest version to see if the bug has already been fixed.

The upgrade process is generally fairly easy, but can sometimes be complex if updated from a very old version or updating a very complex application. This guide gives the general process of upgrading but cannot go into every detail you may run into. If you are unable to complete the upgrade on your own, there is an application upgrade service available from the main web site.

1) Start by downloading and extracting the latest version of AdvancedHMI. Then open the solution in Visual Studio. 2) In Solution Explorer right click the AdvancedHMI project and select Add->Existing Item 3) Browse to your previous solution that you wish to upgrade. 4) Select the MainForm.vb file 5) Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each form that you have added to the solution. NOTE: It is important to only select one file at a time
