Simfund 4.0 MF: Upgrade Steps


  1. Install Simfund 4.0

  2. Back up old Simfund 3.0 project files

  3. Delete old Simfund 3.0 directory

Step 1: Install Simfund 4.0

You are allowed to have Simfund 4.0 and Simfund 3.0 installed on the same computer. We recommend first installing Simfund 4.0 before uninstalling any previous versions.

 

Step 2: Back up old Simfund 3.0 files

It is very important that you back up any old Simfund 3.0 files that have been saved in your local Simfund directory by saving them in a different location. This includes Simfund Project files (*.spf) and any excel files that you may have exporting usins Simfund.

Simfund Project Files (*.SPF)
The default location for SPF files is: 'local simfund directory\project\'

** When saving your SPF files, you must also save the supporting .CDX and .FPT files of the same name. For example, if you have a project file called "Project01", you must back up Project01.spf AND Project01.cdx AND Project01.fpt.

Exported Files (*.XLS)
The default location for SPF files is: 'local simfund directory\export\'

We have listed the defaul locations for these files but please not that they may have been saved anywhere in the local Simfund directory. We recommend conducting a search for these files if you are not sure where they exist.

Once you've found your old Simfund files, we recommend moving them to a location that you can easily remember and can navigate to using Simfund 4.0.

 

Step 3: Delete old Simfund directory

IMPORTANT: Before deleting the old Simfund directory please be sure to refer to Step 2 above and back up all of your Simfund files

After you have installed Simfund MF 4.0 and successfully backed up all of your old Simfund files (step 2), we recommend that you delete your old simfund directory.

The default location for this directory is 'C:\simfund2\

You can run Simfund 3.0 and Simfund 4.0 concurrently so there is no rush to delete the old Simfund directory.
