Installing a newer version of winIDEA
Follow these steps if an older winIDEA version is still present on the system:
1. Make sure that you have administrator rights for the installation.
2. If an older version of winIDEA is no longer needed, uninstall it before starting the installation of newer winIDEA. Your winIDEA workspaces will not be deleted.
Open Control Panel / Programs / Features and select winIDEA version you wish to uninstall. Press the Uninstall / Change button.
3. Follow the installation instructions to install the newer version of winIDEA. If an older version of winIDEA is still needed, choose a different folder to install the newer winIDEA. It is possible to use multiple winIDEA versions side by side.
If you have any questions or problems with the installation or licensing, please don’t hesitate to contact your local iSYSTEM distributor for technical support.
