Checking for a new version manually

Once can manually check for new versions in the IceViewer application, or by starting the updater application from the system tray.

  3. Review the result If an update is available, review the installed and available versions, installer size, and the link to what is new.
  4. Approve the update Select Install now. The updater downloads and verifies the installer.
  5. Close IceViewer if requested Save your work and close IceViewer in every user session. Installation continues when all reported blockers are gone.
  6. Complete the update Wait while the silent installer runs. Restart Windows if requested, or select Open product when that option is available.
