Please read [[Before you Start >> # Before you Start]] carefully.

 

*Note:* Since v8.4+, the /initial installation/ must be performed online. Thereafter, you can re-install with a backup of *this* installation.

 

*Note:* Your _Logos_ folder name could be \Logos, \Logos4 or \Logos5, depending on when/how you upgraded.

 

…

* if you have a custom installation backup these files from the _default_ installation path above.

#. Where necessary install the latest .NET [[for your operating system >> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/index]] (Offline installers are available)

#. If present run DXSETUP.exe

#. If necessary run DXSETUP.exe

#. Run Logos-x64.msi or Logos.msi from the desired user account

* select *Custom* installation and *uncheck* "Automatically Download Updates"

…

This method saves resource downloading and indexing but gets installation files from Logos servers.

Please read [[Before you Start >> # Before you Start]] carefully.

 

*Note:* Since v8.4+, this procedure will only work for a /re-installation/ i.e. you cannot transfer your current installation to another computer.

 

*Note:* Your _Logos_ folder name could be \Logos, \Logos4 or \Logos5, depending on when/how you upgraded.

 

…

* change the installation folder (eg. E:\, C:\Users\{{_/username/_}}) or leave as default

* immediately exit the Sign-in window after the installation has finished

* /if the window does not appear go to the next Step/

  * with v8.4+, you have to kill Logos in Task Manager. {{$ media:TOCnew.png}}

#. If they exist *delete* the following folders from the /new/ installation and replace them from your /backup/

* \Logos\Data

…

This method involves Indexing whilst avoiding the resource download.

Please read [[Before you Start >> # Before you Start]] carefully.

 

*Note:* Since v8.4+, you must first perform a /minimal/ installation, and begin at Step 3 (*scan*) after starting Logos.

 

*Note:* Your _Logos_ folder name could be \Logos, \Logos4 or \Logos5, depending on when/how you upgraded.
