Downloading, Installing, and Running CAMEO
CAMEO Quick Links
Download CAMEOfm version 1.2.2
Download the Program
Download CAMEO by clicking either link below. Please review the installation instructions below before you install CAMEO.
If you have a previous version of CAMEO:
You must backup all data that you added to CAMEO (like facility data) prior to installing the new version. You should perform a complete export from CAMEO. Installing the new version will overwrite all the data files in your CAMEO Folder. This process should not affect links to MARPLOT or Site Plans, but backing up the CAMEOMAP folder and the Site Plans folder is a reasonable precaution also. Once you have backed up the required data, you should install the new CAMEO application in the same folder as your previous version.
