About the Upgrade System
The Setup file is provided in a protective software "wrapper", which requires either the presence of a registered copy of Mailbag Assistant, or a time-limited key that we send to you on request. With this system, you receive the full Setup program for Mailbag Assistant, not a partial upgrade patch. The wrapper software ensures that only legitimate users can extract the registered copy of Mailbag Assistant.Instructions
-
Download the wrapper file to your Mailbag Assistant folder, or some other location:
mbg382wp.exe (size 1,530 KB)
- If you are running Mailbag Assistant, you must quit the program before continuing with the next step -- otherwise the installation process will fail.
- Run the mbg382wp.exe program and follow its instructions. The Setup Wrapper will check your Mailbag Assistant program file to see if it matches an upgradable version. If it does, it will extract the Setup program contained in it.
Note that the upgrade will fail if your program file is damaged or infected by a virus. If this happens, check your computer for viruses and then reinstall your registered version of Mailbag Assistant. If the upgrade program still fails after this, please contact us with a description of the problem and your full registration details. In return, we will send you a personal key to unlock the wrapper.
How Does it Work?
The first thing Setup Wrapper does is check if the current or default installation folder on your computer contains an upgradable registered version of Mailbag Assistant. If it doesn't find it, the wrapper will ask you to indicate where the program file is installed. Once the upgradable version has been detected, Setup Wrapper will extract the Mailbag Assistant Setup program and prompt you to save a backup copy. After this, you can launch the Setup program and install the new version of Mailbag Assistant.
The advantage of this method over traditional upgrade patches is that once the Setup program has been extracted from the wrapper, you no longer need to keep older copies of the software. And if you backup the extracted Setup program, you can also delete the wrapper program (and the unlock key, if you received one).
