3. When you click the Run button on the File Download - Security Warning dialog box, the download should start, and the Internet Explorer - Security Warning dialog box appears:



4. Click Publisher: Emurasoft, Inc.



You can confirm the file is digitally signed by Emurasoft. If It does not display Publisher: Emurasoft, Inc., do not run the file.

I am using a previous version of EmFTP. Can I install a newer version of EmFTP without uninstalling the previous version?
If you want to maintain the same configurations, you do not need to uninstall the previous version. You can install the newest version with the same destination folder. The steps are as follows:

1. Install the newest version.
2. When the installation is complete, reboot Windows.
Can both the old version of EmFTP and new version of EmFTP coexist on the same computer?
No. The old version of EmFTP and new version of EmFTP can't coexist on the same computer.
How can I install EmFTP without displaying dialog boxes?
During normal installation, dialog boxes will be displayed, and a user must click the "Next" button or set options. However, when you install EmFTP into multiple computers in corporate or group environments, you might want to use a batch or scripting file to automate the installation. On Version 2.02 or later, Windows Installer is used for installation, and the "quiet" installation is possible.

For instance, if the EmFTP installation file is emftp202ep.msi, running the following command:

emftp202ep.msi /qr

will install EmFTP with default settings with limited user intervention. If you wish to change the default settings, you can use following options:

REGKEY=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
enters a registration key.

For instance, if you wish to install EmFTP entering a registration key, run:

emftp202ep.msi /qr REGKEY=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

There are many options for Windows Installer. For details, run:

msiexec /?

to display the list of available commands.
