Upgrading

Installed

For installed versions of OGCS, the simplest method of upgrading is:

1. Click the About tab
2. Check the Check for Alpha releases box if appropriate
3. Click Check for Update
4. Opt to upgrade if a newer release is found

If this method fails for some reason, you can simply download the latest Setup.exe from the Downloads section at the bottom of the Releases page, or from the main website, and execute the file once downloaded.

Portable

For versions of OGCS that have been extracted from the distributed ZIP file to a custom location:

💾 Download the ZIP file from the Downloads section at the bottom of the Releases page, or from the main website.

To replace the current version

• Simply extract the new ZIP file into the same folder OGCS is currently running from

To retain the current version (eg for rollback)

• Copy the folder (eg. C:\app\OGCS_v282 to C:\app\OGCS_v283)
• Extract the new ZIP file into the new copied folder.

🗒️ If the status of Settings > Application Behaviour > Make application portable is unchecked (not the default setting), it is also advisable to copy the settings.xml file in %APPDATA%\Outlook Google Calendar Sync - eg to settings-v282.xml. This will allow for reverting back to the settings associated with C:\app\OGCS_v282.
