If you are installing ForScore on a new computer, things are straightforward.  (But read through the 2015 Rulebook section.)

 

If you are updating an existing computer, things are a bit more complicated.

 

The data files needed to alter for this new version so as to support CCP, the sub-divisions of REV and BUG, etc.

 

I decided to leave the old copy of ForScore on your computer in case you want to look back at your old matches, recreate results, etc.

 

So you will have two shortcuts.

 

The new, green icon is the new version

•It will have all your shooters

•REV shooters will receive an initial classification and classification date per 9.6.1.1

•BUG shooters will receive an initial classification and classification date per 9.6.2.1

•CCP shooters will receive an equity calculation.  Like other equity, that is a MINIMUM classification, but is not in itself eligible for a sanctioned match.

•It will have all your old matches

•Your old matches will have their registration set to read-only.  (You can change that in Program Preferences if you need to.)

•Your old matches will NOT generate results correctly (SSR may appear as REV)

•The new version's data by default is in C:\ForScoreFiles\DATA

•The new version's program files by default are in C:\Program Files (x86)\ForScore2015

 

 

The old, blue icon will be your previous software.  (If you're upgrading to the 2015 version from an older version, then your "old version" icon will be the older icon.)

•It will have all your shooters and all your old matches.

•Its data by default is in C:\ForScoreFilesPre2015\DATA

•Its program files by default are in C:\Program Files (x86)\ForScore

 

If you have done custom things with your existing data, you'll need to decide which files to use with the old and new versions and to situate them appropriately.

 

If you're using a dongle, remember to adjust your shortcut(s).
