Installing a New Version of XpertMart
™ on a Macintosh
To install a new version of XpertMart™
you need
to replace the XpertMart.jar file. The XpertMart™
application is in this single
file.
Normally the XpertMart.jar
file is found in the /Main
directory,
but when you install from a
.dmg file (this is the case if you download the XpertMart demo
from our
web site or if you use our Installation CD) then the XpertMart.jar file
is
actually at this location:
/Main/XpertMart.app/Contents/Resources/Java/XpertMart.jar
The Mac Finder hides the ".app" extension.
In your /Main directory you will only see a file called "XpertMart."
You
need to right-click or Control-click on this file and chose the "Show
Package
Contents" option. You will see a folder called "Contents". Double-click
on
this folder and open the folder Resources and you will see a folder
called
"Java". When you open this last folder you will see the XpertMart.jar
file--
this is the file you want to replace when upgrading to a new version.
The /Main/XpertMart.app/Contents/Resources/Java directory also
contains
a set of .ini files. These files are where all of your configuration
settings
are stored.
Note that the alternative is to install the new XpertMart.jar file
directly
on the /Main directory. If you do this you will need to also
copy
over the .ini files from the /Main/XpertMart.app/Contents/Resources/Java
directory or you will lose your configuration setting. Once you have
copied
them over you should erase the XpertMart.app file (which will appear
only
as "XpertMart" and should not be confused with the "XpertMart.jar"
file).
Otherwise there is the potential to mix-up the two versions and have
two
competing configurations. If you erase the XpertMart.app file you may
also
have to change the
Java
version to 1.3
.
