Installation
Installation of Deep View 5.5.0.xxxx supports one version at a time. This can be either the Minimum, or Complete install.
Upgrading from a previous version of Deep View to either Minimum or Complete will uninstall the previous version. This includes performing a downgrade by installing Deep View Minimum 5.5 over a previous release of Deep View Complete (formerly Deep Publish).
Before installing Deep View at any time, we advise closing all applications.
Users must shut down open instances of applications with referenced ActiveX controls when prompted. Selecting to ‘Ignore’ will result in a prompt to reboot. If the user selects to ignore and reboot files do not register properly .
This can be fixed by going to Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and selecting Deep View in the program list. Select [Change] > [Next] > Repair .
Upgrading via the CAB installer will silently uninstall previously installed versions. Once started, the process cannot be cancelled. This will be fixed in the next release :
The only workaround here is to reinstall your previous version if you wish to rollback.
Installing Deep View via a Deep Access site may call the incorrect version of the .cab installer. Users who previously installed via this method will still have the old version of the .cab in their cache. This leads to confusing dialogs requesting to Repair, Modify, or Repair the install. To avoid such install difficulties, simply delete the internet browser cache. For Internet Explorer this can be done by opening Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files.
For Deep View 5.5. silent install :
To run a silent install of Deep View Minimum or Deep View Complete do the following:
