Re: [EXTERNAL] iSphere 4.0.0.r released

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW, I >always< use Check For Updates. Never fails. On Windows I have a 
standard folder (C:\RDi  Plugins\iSphere) from where the plug-in was 
initially unzipped and installed. The procedure I follow is:

- Download the .ZIP file
- Clear existing standard folder
- Unzip new version in standard folder
- Start RDi
- Use HELP > CHECK FOR UPDATES

Invariably the newer version of iSphere is picked up: just follow the 
prompts.

HTH,
Brian.
