<div><b>Upgrading from a previous version </b></div>
<div><font size="2">If you are upgrading from a previous version of Metadata Maestro, you will need to uninstall your current version. </font></div>
<div><font size="2"> </font></div>
<div><font size="2">On installation, Metadata Maestro will try to overwrite or recreate certain program-specific files that you may need access to after installation. Because of this, it is recommended that you rename or backup your Local Application Data Folder
for Metadata Maestro prior to installation (C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\SeaZone\Metadata Maestro Data or </font></div>
<div><font size="2">C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Local Settings\Application Data\SeaZone\Metadata Maestro Data). </font></div>
<div><font size="2">After installation you may then want to move your previously cached data files back into the Metadata Maestro Local Application Folder.</font></div>
