CONSIDERATIONS

The first step for installing the 4.7 version of the Folio line is to uninstall any applications from previous versions of the Folio line.  This is particularly necessary for 4.7 because of the change in file format.  While Folio Views 4.7 will open any 4.x infobase, earlier versions of Folio 4 will not open an infobase built in 4.7.

Because of the new file format, it will be best to update an entire site at once.  After an infobase is developed, built, or edited in Folio 4.7, anyone who wants to read that infobase must also have Folio 4.7.  None of the earlier Folio versions will open it.

The new file format will mean that if a computer has a Folio 4.7 product used to develop infobases and also has a lower Folio version used to present infobases, a problem may arise.  This includes Bound Folio Views.  Whenever a file with an extension of .nfo or .sdw is double clicked, Folio Views opens to read it.  If a computer has more than one copy of Views.exe, the copy most recently opened will be invoked.  If a developer was reviewing a 4.6 published infobase which he opened from its Start Menu interface, closing that and double clicking on a 4.7 infobase will reopen the 4.6 bound viewer which will fail to open the 4.7 infobase.  In the past, similar conditions could cause Bound Views to try to open an unbound infobase and to receive an error containing the phrase “…infobase bound to a different server…”.  Anyone developing in 4.7 will need to be warned of this.
