Upgrades to the latest production release of the VMM software are provided free of charge to all VMM users by way of this web site. The latest copy of the software is posted here as soon as it is compiled and tested. These upgrade releases contain both the latest enhancements that have been made to the software and "bug" fixes to handle any malfunction in the software that has been reported. Below you will find a compilation of the program changes that have been associated with each build.
To check your program status, simply go into the VMM Help menu, and select "About Visual Mall Manager™". At the top of the form, you will note the Version number and the Build Date for your particular copy of the program. Simply compare the Build Date for your program to the latest production release Build Date. If your program has an older Build Date, then you need to download and install the latest software version.
The latest production release is VMM Version 1.10, Build Date 07/14/10. To upgrade to this latest version, simply download the upgrade archive, VMMupdte.exe, and save it to a convenient location on your computer's hard disk; for example, C:\Temp. Then "run" the program file to extract the upgrade files to your VMM system. Be certain that the VMM program is not running anywhere on your computer system when the files are extracted from the archive.
Warning: If you running a 64-bit operating system such as Vista® or Windows® 7, VMM is installed in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\RFCanon\VMM" folder by default. Therefore, you need to be sure to extract the VMMupdte files into the correct folder and NOT into the "C:\Program Files\RFCanon\VMM" folder that is the default for the WinZip® self-extractor.
You should have a high-speed Internet connection to download these upgrades, because the file size of the download is in excess of twenty megabytes (20.2 MB). Click here to download the latest build.
If you do not have high-speed Internet, a CD-ROM containing the latest VMM build is available from RFCanon, Inc. for $25.00 including shipping and handling. Simply contact our office at (888) 785-0465 to place your order.
