You can install or update to the latest shipping version at the Update to Libronix DLS 3.0f page.
These updates to the currently-shipping 3.0 version of the Libronix DLS offer additional features or components that are not part of the standard installation.
- 1.x Users: Please read this Important note
You can check your Libronix DLS version from the Help > About dialog in the Libronix DLS.
Before Libronix Update can update your Libronix DLS installation, it must first update itself and then restart the computer. After the restart,
Update should run again automatically to finish the update. If you have a pre-2.0 version of the Libronix DLS, Libronix Update will restart your
system twice, once to install the 2.0 system components and once to install the 3.0 system components.
If you try to run the LDLS before Update runs the second time, the LDLS will fail to run since the update is incomplete. You will instead get an error
dialog with the title bar text, "LDLS.exe - Unable to Locate Component" and the text, "This application has failed to start because MSVCP70.dll was
not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." If Update fails to launch after the system restart or you get this error message, run
Update again from the Update to Libronix DLS 3.0f page.

More Information
With this Auto Update script, Libronix Update will compare the versions of resoruces you have installed on your computer to resources available
on our FTP site, ftp://ftp.logos.com/lbxbooks. Check the box next to any resources you'd
like to download and install, then click the Update button. The FTP server and the Auto Update script are updated nightly.
If the download should fail part-way through, just start it again with the link above and Update will resume where it left off. Note that resources that have
already been completely downloaded will appear in the list again, though their download will be skipped.
After Update has finished installing the resources, run the Libronix DLS so that it can discover the updated resources. If you run Update again before the
updated resources have been discovered, Update will list them again.
If you have not yet updated to 3.0f, this script will also update your system to the Libronix DLS version 3.0f.

- More information about the installation and update process
The Libronix DLS installation is a two step process for the first-time user. The first step is to install Libronix Update, the second step is to use Libronix
Update to install the rest of the Libronix DLS. Once you have Libronix Update installed, you should never need to install it again, or to uninstall and reinstall
to upgrade to a new version.
Libronix Update is used to keep your system up to date, to install new products from CD-ROM or the Internet and to install resources and unlocks
from our web site. Libronix Update processes Auto Update script files, files with the lbxupd extension that define a particular version of the Libronix DLS
or of a particular product. Each CD-ROM comes with an Auto Update script and our web site links to various Auto Update scripts.
When Libronix Update processes an Auto Update script, it first compares your system against the script to determines what components need to be
installed or updated. This is the Initialization phase. You are then presented with a list of components that will be downloaded, as necessary, and installed.
Depending on what's available, you may see different sections, such as Required and Optional. If a section is collapsed, you can expand it by clicking the
triangle in the section's heading. You will be able to check or uncheck components in all but the Required section.
When you're ready to update, click the Update button and Libronix Update will begin the download. When the download is complete, the installation
phase will begin automatically. If the download is interrupted and Libronix Update displays an error message, you can run it again to restart the process.
Files that have already been fully downloaded will not be downloaded again.
You can run Tools > Libronix Update... from within the Libronix DLS to check for available updates and launch Libronix Update as necessary.
