| A Citect service pack is a minor revision
to Citect software and contains various fixes to problems in the
Citect software. The Service pack system replaces the patch system
that was in existence for a short time. Replacement files are used
instead of patches to existing files, therefore there is no
requirement to apply SPkA and SPkB before applying SPkC. It is
shipped as one self installing/extracting executable file (eg
V420spkc.exe for Service Pack C). The installation will first
backup all the files that it is about to replace, if your Citect is
installed in C:\CITECT then it will create a folder called
C:\CITECT\BACKUP\BIN and copy the original files to this folder,
the files are also renamed when they are backed-up. The renaming
procedure is a follows, if you install Service Pack C and it
contains a new CITECT32.EXE then the backup will be called
CITECT32.EX3, for Service Pack D it would be called CITECT32.EX4.
If you install the same pack twice then the backup will only take
place the first time to preserve the original backed up file.
Service Packs are available for down load from the support page
at http://www.citect.com
and should only be applied to fix problems listed in the associated
readme file. The readme files are also published in the knowledge
base.
To Remove:
If you decide you want to remove a pack, eg pack C then you
would rename all the C:\CITECT\BACKUP\BIN\*.EX3 and *.DL3 and any
other files ending with 3 back to the correct file name and then
copy them to the C:\CITECT\BIN directory. You should also check the
BACKUP directory for other directories other than BIN as some
future Service Packs may need to replace files in directories other
than the BIN directory.
