ETKA 8.6 Update Patch

- bypasses the forced update to ETKA 8.6 from update 1499 onwards
- so newer updates can also be installed in older versions

Notes:
Not usable for PETKA!!!
you can also patch back (so the algeni loader will work again)

Patching instructions
Which folder you have to select depends on your ETKA version and/or folder structure.
If you have the new folder structure, then just select this folder (one of the following two exists).

Code:

~drive~:\Program Files\LexCom\ETKA
~drive~:\Program Files (X86)\LexCom\ETKA)

If you have the old folder structure, you have to select 3 folders in order to patch them (so you have to do the patch process 3 times)

Code:

~drive~:\ETKA\PROG
~drive~:\ETKA\PROG1
~drive~:\ETKA\PROG2

You could also select the parent ETKA folder to patch only one time, but this will take much longer because the patch will search through all files in the folder (including the several gigabyte DATA folders). So it is better and also faster to select and patch the single PROG folders directly.

The first patch option is only for installing newer updates (> 1499). In this option, the algeni loader can NOT be used. If the patch was successful, you will see that ETKA is displayed as version 8.6. If this is not the case, then the patch was not successful and the process was blocked, for example, by an antivirus program or similar.

The second and third option is only for the use of the specific algeni loader. In this option it is NOT possible to install new updates. There would always appear the notice that you have to update to 8.6.

It will also automatically gray out the option that is already active. So if you have already applied the update patch, then the button is grayed out until another option is patched.
