Upgrading the Marquee Software

From time to time, Horizon Control Inc. may release updates to the software installed on your Marquee Console. These may include general changes in the base code, additional library files, updated help documentation or OS changes.  You may either receive the updates on CDR from your dealer or download them yourself from the Horizon Control web site. In either case, what you will receive is a single .EXE file. You will not be able to run this file successfully on your system since it will be writing to protected areas of your hard drive.

  1. The upgrade file needs to be placed in the root directory of the D: drive.

  2. Re-boot the system for the changes to take affect.

  3. After the system starts up, the Control Panel may appear and display the message:

  1. Once the new software has been installed, the Marquee software will run and the process is finished.

  2. The .EXE file you placed on D:\ will be moved to the folder D:\SavedInstalls.

Tip:

If at any time you want to 'roll-back' to a previous version of Marquee software, all you needed to do is launch Windows Explorer from the Control Panel and move the appropriate file from D:\SavedInstalls back to D:\ and re-boot the system.

Alternate Method of Upgrading Software: You can simply place the supplied CD in the CD drive and re-boot the system. Marquee always looks to removable media (CD's or USB sticks) upon startup for software updates. This is why it is important not to leave the update CD's or sticks in the system. This method does not archive the install, but you can always store the CD.
