Applying a Patch to a Workstation 

  Before applying a Reflection patch, note the following: 

 *  Administrative rights are required to download and install the 
    patch. 

 *  You must have the appropriate Reflection version installed in 
    order to apply the Reflection patch. 

 *  You must have access to the original installation files - 
    either the CD or Administrative installation point, depending on 
    the original installation type. 

To apply a Reflection patch to a workstation installation 

  Follow the steps below to apply a patch to a workstation 
  installation of Reflection. 

 1. Download the patch file. 

 2. Close all running applications so that system files can be 
    updated if needed. 

 3. Using Windows Explorer, locate the downloaded Reflection patch 
    file and double-click the file. After the file "unpacks" itself in 
    your \Temp folder, the Reflection Patching Utility dialog box 
    appears. 

 4. In the Apply patch to section, select "This workstation only." 
    Click the Apply button to begin the upgrade. The product will be 
    found and upgraded if installed on the workstation. 

    Note: While upgrading the product, you may be prompted for the 
    Reflection CD. The upgrade will need to access the original 
    installation package. The prompt says: "The feature you are 
    trying to use is on a CD-ROM or other removable disk that is 
    not available. Insert the Reflection disk and click OK." There 
    is also a Browse button that can be used to browse to a network 
    location of the CD image. Insert the CD or browse to the folder 
    where the *.msi file is located and click OK. (The name of the 
    .MSI file varies depending on the product, for example, 
    mp900ilc.msi or sx900ilc.msi.) 

 5. When the patching process is complete, an informational message 
    appears indicating the status of the patching process. This 
    message will display, "The patch was applied" if the installation 
    was successful. (If problems occur, locate the patch log file, 
    Wrqpatch.log, created in each user's temporary folder.)
