Install an Update Manually
- Select an update in the Supported
Applications and Drivers dialog box.
You can find out if you have to install the update
manually by reading the information in the box below the
dialog box.
- After determining that the update
must be installed manually, click Install.
After successfully downloading an update, Oil Change
displays an Install dialog box.
- On the Install dialog box, click
Manual Install.
Oil Change saves the update in a folder on your hard
drive. Usually, the software manufacturer compresses
manual updates so that they take up less space on the
server and transfer faster. Many updates are packaged in
a single program file (.exe extension).
- Decompress the .exe by
double-clicking the file in the Windows Explorer.
You may have to use a program such as WinZip to
decompress the program if it doesn’t decompress
automatically. After you decompress an update, find the
file containing the installation instructions. Usually,
the manufacturer places the installation instructions in
a text file that has a .txt or .doc extension.
Warning
You cannot use Undo to uninstall
manual updates.
Tip
It's a good idea to create a
folder for updates that require manual installation
before starting Oil Change.
