If you have a previous version of CAMEO, you must take steps to safeguard your existing data. Please read the following instructions for details:
If you have a previous version of CAMEO:
You must backup all data that you added to CAMEO prior to
installing the new version.
Installing the new version will overwrite all the data files in your
CAMEO Folder and erase your Siteplans and CameoMap folders.
You need to perform a complete export from CAMEO, and also save copies
of your SitePlans and CameoMap folders prior to installation.
Once you have backed up the required data, you should install the new
CAMEO application in the same folder as your previous version.
After installing CAMEO, replace the newly installed SitePlans and
CameoMap folders with your previous versions. These folder will be
inside the newly installed CAMEO Data folder which is installed in the
public user documents folder. (C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Documents)
