Hello Camroon,

I did it just a few minutes ago.

Backup your entire galery directory before processing. In case of troubleshooting, it's allow you to install your oldest version.

After downloaded on your PC the imagevue_18.zip, unpack it and go to the upload folder. Upload all the folder (but not the "content" folder) on galery directory on the web.
Upload your old *.ini files you modify on your site (sitemenu.ini, config.ini,...) and passwords.php wich is in admin folder. This operation restore the params you modify in your old imagevue galery.

I hope it was clear for you because my english is not perfect as you can see :wink:

Sorry for the late reply -

When updating the gallery, generally follow this process:

1. Download the latest version, and unpack it to a folder.
2. Upload everything from the latest version, EXCEPT the "content" folder, overwriting the previous version on your server. Keeping your content folder will allow you to keep all your photos.

That covers the update, except there may be a few complications:
You may have done some gallery customizations through the configuration files, and created your own background and startimages. If so:

# Before you upload the new version, make backup of any configuration files you may have changed, and also any custom images (backimage or startimage) you may have created. After uploading the new version, you can now re-upload your backup files.
