About
This is a temporary page to assist users in the transition between 4TR and ARGUS TV.
Before you begin
The ARGUS TV installer has been configured to allow users to easily upgrade their 4TR installation. It will uninstall 4TR and then copy your settings across to the new ARGUS TV install. You do not need to do anything before you begin (except ensure the family isn't using it).
If you want to start fresh, there are some steps you need to take in order to ensure that no settings are copied from an old 4TR install. See Fresh Install below.
Upgrading
If you want to upgrade and keep all your settings and channels intact, the process is very straight forward.
- Download the latest installer from
the forums
- Extract and run the installer. The ARGUS TV installer will detect the old 4TR install and run it's uninstaller, this is a required step as the two products cannot run simultaneously. The 4TR uninstaller may ask if you want do a full uninstall. Click NO
- Continue with the install as normal.
Fresh Install
There are some steps to take to ensure you get a clean install rather than an upgrade. Once you have followed the steps below, run the installer as normal.
If you are sure you want a clean install
- Uninstall 4TR. If asked if you want a full uninstall, select YES.
- Delete the installation folders (see Install folder locations)
- Delete the SQL database (see Removing/Renaming the SQL Database below).
If you want a fall back plan
- Uninstall 4TR. If asked if you want a full uninstall, select NO.
- Rename or move the installation folders, adding OLD to the name will be enough. (see Install folder locations)
- Rename or move the SQL database (see Removing/Renaming the SQL Database below).
Install Folder locations
These locations will give the location for 64 bit versions of Windows. If you run a 32 bit version, omit "(x86)" (where shown) from the path location.
Windows XP/WHSv1
- C:\Program Files (x86)\For The Record
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\For The Record
Windows Vista & above/WHS2011
- C:\Program Files (x86)\For The Record
- C:\ProgramData\For The Record
