====== Upgrading RomVault ======
Upgrading RomVault is as simple as replacing the old RomVault EXE with the new one.
The additional recommendations below are meant to ensure a smooth transition just in case anything goes wrong. 


===== Create backups =====
  * Make sure RomVault is closed and there is no process running
  * Copy the following items to another location:
    * DatRoot folder
    * RomVault EXE file
    * RomVault config XML file
    * Cache file


===== Replace old files with new files =====
  * Download the newest version from www.romvault.com
  * Extract the downloaded archive
  * Copy the new RomVault exe and replace the old one


===== Force DAT update =====
  * Start RomVault
  * Hold the SHIFT key and then RIGHT CLICK the "Update DATs" button. Alternately, use the keyboard shortcut SHIFT+F5 or use the header menu **Update DATs > Refresh all DATs**.
 
<WRAP important>The "Force DAT update" step is highly recommended in case there are changes with how DATs are processed between versions. This forced update ensures that all character encoding and directory settings are re-processed uniformly.</WRAP>
