Updating Document Conversion Service to a New Version

When upgrading Document Conversion Service to a new version, (i.e. upgrading from version 2.0 to 3.0), or updating within the current version (i.e. updates from version 3.0.001 to 3.0.002), these updates and upgrades are done in-place and will set all application settings back to the installation defaults.

If you have made any changes to the settings they will need to be reapplied. This includes changes to the following:

The Document Conversion Service configuration file

The Watch Folder Service configuration file

Any changes you made to the default conversion profiles, or any new conversion profiles you created. Conversion profiles are used by the command line tools, the PEERNET.ConvertUtility.dll and the Convert File sample programs.

The section, How to Backup and Restore Configuration Files and Profiles shows how to backup and restore these files when updating or upgrading the software.
