VRS 4.1 History

The VRS 4.1 product was released on 04/28/06. It replaces the VRS 4.0 (with service pack 1) product as the latest release of the VirtualReScan (VRS) product.

The VRS 4.1 release is intended to be installed as follows.

If you currently have VRS 3.5 (or higher) installed, you can successfully upgrade to VRS 4.1 without removing your existing installation. If your current VRS installation is a version released prior to VRS 3.5, you must upgrade to VRS 3.5 before upgrading to VRS 4.1. If necessary, do one of the following to verify your existing VRS version:

• VRS 3.5 or earlier – Select the About tab from the VRS Interactive Properties dialog box.
• VRS 4.0 – Select Help | About from the VirtualReScan Interactive Viewer menu bar.

For more information about removing VRS, refer to the Removing VRS section in the VirtualReScan (VRS) 4.1 Installation Guide beginning on page 69.

For details about upgrading your VRS 3.5 or VRS 4.0 installation, refer to the VirtualReScan (VRS) 4.1 Release Notes or the Important VirtualReScan (VRS) 4.1 Upgrade and Installation Notes application note.
