Updating/Upgrading

Install the current version into the folder of your existing WinHex installation, using the setup program. There is no need for prior uninstalling. In case you have modified the preset templates, scripts or the file type definition file, make a backup first. The existing version must not be running when installing, of course. If you encounter problems, please restart Windows. More about upgrading.
