Checking for updates is a manual process and requires the user to check on their own periodically to see if there are any updates. To do this you log into your software and click the "Options Settings" button. A new form pops up and on the bottom of the form (General Settings) you should see a button that says "Software Updater". Just click that button and the software will check the website to see if there is a new version.


Internet access is required.





If there is an update available you will have the option to go to the website to get it or do nothing.




Once you locate the new version just simply download the "NGWEsetup.exe" file in run the setup application. The setup will install the application and create a desktop icon along with an uninstall shortcut in the program menu. Just overwrite the existing program it will not affect your key store which is located in a different directory.


When you want to uninstall the program two files will remain. The log file and your Key Store. The Key Store isn't created with the setup program. This created by NextGen Widget Encrypt. However, you can delete the directory "AppData\Roaming\NextGen Widget Software" on your own using your file manager.
