Help Update/de

== (**COPIED FROM ENGLISH PAGE**) ==The update process is explained here.

When you want a simple update, you can use the Help, Update option.

This option needs a working internet connection. Your firewall and anti virus software also need to enabled bascom-avr to use the internet.

On windows 7 you need admin rights because bascom-avr is installed in a sub folder of Program Files. And All files under Program Files are write protected in Windows 7.

Of course, the same does apply to updatewiz.exe : it needs rights to write to the MCS Electronics\BASCOM-AVR folder which is located under Program Files.

 

If you click Help, Update, the IDE will check if updatewiz.exe exists in the BASCOM-AVR program folder.

If it doesn't exist, it will be downloaded from http://register.mcselec.com

This site you can also visit for manual downloading of updates.

 

After updatewiz has been downloaded, or when it existed, the latest lic file will be downloaded and saved as bascom-avr.lic

After that, the updatewiz is started and bascom exits.

The updatewiz will continue as usual. The process is explained under 'Updates'

 

So what does this Help, Update do?

- downloads updatewiz if required

- downloads latest lic file

- starts the updatewiz

 

If there is a problem you will get an error and you are instructed to visit http://register.mcselec.com

 

The most common reason for a problem will be :

- no working internet connection

- no rights for bascom or updatewiz to alter files in the bascom-avr folder

- no valid license, or invalidated license
