Reinstallation and Upgrade Comments

Comments below apply to reinstallation and upgrade of WebSpellChecker Server on the same server both in Windows- and Linux-based environments.

When reinstalling WebSpellChecker Server on Windows, the installer tries to auto-detect if any other versions of the package already exist. Specify if you want to back up any already existing configurations and other files. 

If you select the Backup the WebSpellChecker files option, settings files as well as dictionaries will be saved to C:\Program Files\WebSpellChecker\.Backup. 

When reinstalling WebSpellChecker Server on the same server on Linux, a directory containing files and dictionaries settings will be rewritten, and a backup copy will be created. During this rewriting process, a directory containing User and Server Custom Global dictionaries unique contents and their settings is saved. A default backup directory is /opt/WSC/.Backup.
