To reinstall MYOB BusinessBasics

Follow the steps in this section to reinstall BusinessBasics on your computer(s):

1. If you haven't done so already, turn on your computer.
2. Start the installation program. Insert the BusinessBasics CD into your computer's CD drive. The installation window should appear after a few moments. (If it doesn't, you may have disabled your computer's AutoPlay feature. From the Start menu, choose Run; in the Run dialog box enter d:\setup, assuming that your CD drive is named d:. Then click OK.)

When you are ready to being updating BusinessBasics click the selection labeled "Install MYOB BusinessBasics Version 1."

3. The Welcome window appears after a few moments. This window will look a bit different from the Welcome window you saw when you originally installed BusinessBasics.
4. Choose one of the following options in the window:

• Choose Modify if you want to add components or remove certain program components that are currently installed.

• Choose Restore if you want to reinstall all the program components you specified during the original install process. You won't have the opportunity to add or remove specific program components.

• Choose Remove if you want to remove ALL of the program components you specified during the original process. Your company files and backup company files won't be deleted when you choose this option.

Click Next when you are finished.

5. If you chose Modify in Step 4, continue to step 6. If you chose Repair, skip to step 8. If you chose Remove, skip to step 7.
6. If you selected Modify in Step 4, the Select Components window appears on your screen. It will look a bit different from the Select Components window you saw when you originally installed BusinessBasics.

In the Select Components window, you can choose individual BusinessBasics components by clicking the box next to each component you want; check marks will appear next to the options you selected when you first installed BusinessBasics. Mark or unmark the files you wish to add or remove from your hard drive.

When you're finished making your selections, click the Next button. Skip to step 8.

7. If you chose Remove in step 4, a window will appear asking you if you are sure you want to remove the selected application and its components. If you still want to remove these files, click OK.
8. During the installation process, you'll notice the Install Status window displaying a colored bar. The bar shows you how much of the installation (or deletion) process has occurred so far.

While this window is displayed on your computer screen, you don't need to do anything.

9. The Maintenance Complete window will appear.

Before you begin using BusinessBasics, you may have to restart your computer. If this is the case, a message in the Maintenance Complete window will inform you of this and give you the option to restart your computer now or wait until later to do so.

If no other applications are running on your computer, mark the "Yes, I want to restart my computer now" option. If other applications are running on your computer, mark the "No, I will restart my computer later" option instead. Exit the other applications, then restart your computer manually.

10. Next, click Finish. If you indicated that your computer should restart, it will restart now.

If you indicated that you'll restart your computer later, the update installation program will close.

11. That's it! BusinessBasics has been reinstalled (or deleted). Be sure to store your BusinessBasics CD in a safe place.
