2. Installing the software from a download
With the release of 5.2C, the downloadable installation has been changed. The most
noticeable change is that the download for Surpac Vision has been split into two separate
downloads.
The Prerequisites download installs an upgraded sentinel driver and other common files
required to run Surpac. It is essential that you download and install the prerequisites kit once
for each major version change (v5.2, v5.3, v6.0 for example), but not for each maintenance
release (5.2c, 5.2d etc).
You will also need to download the required package for the product you wish to install. This
change has been made to reduce the size of each download, and since you only require the
Prerequisites kit on infrequent occasions, should make downloading and installing new
versions of the software much easier.
You may also notice that the downloads are now Windows-standard Microsoft Installer
installations, which can be deployed easier by systems administrators to remote sites.

Note: Please read the release notes and readme file before you download to ensure you are
aware of the extensive new functionality and known issues. It is suggested that the software
be installed in the default path and that any existing installation be maintained to ensure that
the transition is smooth. Major upgrades to plotting and graphics components have been
made that may affect some users.

You must download and install each of the following components separately:
