Update Installation Umberto NXT LCA

[pbeilschmidt]

Existing customers, who have already installed a previous version of Umberto NXT LCA and the ecoinvent v2.2 database should note the following:

The update installation is performed in two separate steps:

• First, the application installation has to be run. It removes the existing (older) Umberto NXT LCA installation. Your LCA models (projects) will not be removed and remain unaffected.
• Upon first start of the newly installed Umberto NXT LCA version, a warning may be issued. It signals that the existing installation of the ecoinvent v2.2 database does not correspond to the newly installed version of Umberto NXT LCA. Just ignore this warning and proceed to download the ecoinvent v2.2 database installation file. A link to the file is provided on the start page.
  After running the installation file for the ecoinvent v2.2 database, the two versions are now on the same level (v7.0.6.99).

Should you have dowloaded both installation files and have them available locally on your hard drive or on a CD, it is recommended to run them both directly one after another (first, the basic application installation Umberto NXT LCA, followed by the database installation). Do not launch Umberto NXT LCA in between the two installation steps by removing the check mark for the option "Launch Umberto NXT LCA" on the last page of the application installation.
