The Easy Update (If you are upgrading from Version 4.x or 5.x)

• Just close CharterSUITE if it's running
• RUN this file: www.CharterSUITESoftware.com/software/csupdate.exe and click UNZIP.
• Register a new file that was added:

• Copy the file AddEmail.dll from your C:\Program Files\CharterSUITE\ folder to your C:\Windows\System32 folder
• Click START | RUN, then type or paste this into the text box:

        REGSVR32 "C:\Windows\System32\AddEmail.dll"

Kind of Easy (If you want to reinstall the software from scratch, but retain all of your stored information)

STEP 2:  Uninstall CharterSUITE

Click START | CONTROL PANEL | ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, select CHARTERSUITE from the list and click ADD/REMOVE...

STEP 3:  Reinstall CharterSUITE

Click HERE and OPEN (RUN) the file.

STEP 4:  Copy your data back.
