Installing Embird

This tutorial explains how to install Embird. If you want to update an older version of Embird installed on your computer, note that there is no special file with "smart" small update or "patch" available. You must download the whole setup file for new version from http://www.embird.com/sw/embird/down.htm. Download the file to folder "C:\My Documents" on your hard disk (or to any other folder, but this tutorial refers to "C:\My Documents" download). Then uninstall the older version - see how to uninstall in Uninstalling Embird tutorial. When you are finished with uninstalling of the previous Embird version, install the new version. If you follow the steps explained in this tutorial, your passwords for Embird will remain on your computer and will be transferred into the new version automatically.

Warning: If you already have some previous Embird version on your PC and want to update to the latest version, please read the note above. Then follow the steps in Uninstalling Embird tutorial to uninstall the current version. Only then continue with installation of the latest version.
