Directory Toolkit Updates

August 23, 2008 - Registered Users - Please await instructions via email regarding the update to the v 6.0 release. Expected release & information about updates will occur over the week of August 25 and carry over into September. We will update this page with further information. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Updates for are for registered customers only and will not work with shareware versions. They require a password. You will receive the password and additional instructions via e-mail.

1. Run Directory Toolkit and look at the version number in the About box (use the Help/About menu or the '?' button on the toolbar). If you have version 5.4, you have the latest and do not need to update.

2. If you do not have v 5.6, select one of the patch utility versions below. You only need one download. For example, if you currently have version 5.4, download the "Version 5.4 to 5.6" patch. Make a note of the file name and the location where your browser saves the file. If your browser offers a choice, please save the file to a temporary path on your hard disk instead of using a 'Run from here' type prompt.

7. Do not panic if you receive a 'Some files may have been missing...' response similar to the below. Directory Toolkit will continue to function but it will be your original version. Per the instructions in our email about the update, reply to that note and we will follow up.

8. Finally, if you use a language module, visit the Directory Toolkit International page and follow the links to your language page to obtain a module for 5.6.
