Below is the full installation text that Makemusic support just sent me. Updating Finale has never been easier ;-) Has anyone tried it yet ? I wonder why this text is not in the "Finale Read me.rtf".
Jan Angermueller Hello Jan, we just came out with 2014a. What makes things a bit more complicated is that the auto updater on Windows is not working properly. So, what we need to do is a full uninstall and reinstall of Finale 2014. Here is how to do that: 1. You will need to be logged in to this computer on a user account that has full administrative rights. 2. Close Finale 2014. 3. Click your Windows Start orb and choose Control Panel. 4. In the Control Panel 5. In the Control Panel, choose Programs > Uninstall a program. 6. In your Programs and Features list, select Finale2014, and then click the Uninstall button on the tool bar. 7. Click your Windows Start orb again and choose Computer. 8. In your Computer folder, navigate to C:\Program Files folder, find your Finale 2014 folder and delete it. If you have any personal files saved here, be sure to remove them first. 9. Navigate to C:\Users\<your account>\AppData\Roaming\MakeMusic\Finale 2014 * and delete this folder as well (* = this is a hidden folder. To show hidden files and folders, go into Explorer's Organize Menu, Folder and Search Options, the View tab, and "Show hidden files and folders.") 10. Restart the computer 11. Re-install Finale 2014 from the installation disc, or by downloading it from https://store.makemusic.com/MyAccount/MySoftware.aspx Let me know if you have any other questions about this issue.
