 Upgrading from an earlier version of E-Z Audit

If you are converting from a version earlier than Version 9, please review the following for important changes.

The following changes were made starting with E-Z Audit Version 9 and remain in effect in Version 11:

  • Files saved and used by E-Z Audit are no longer under C:\Program Files\EZAudit.

    On Windows 2000 and XP, the folders are under     C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\EZAudit\11

    On Windows Vista, they are under the folder     C:\Program Data\EZAudit\11

    These are the folders and their contents:
     
    • Audits - Any audits you choose to copy to your PC should be placed in this folder.  Your evaluation user audit of your own PC is saved to this folder.
       
    • Cache - Files used by E-Z Audit.
       
    • Intranet Scanner Configuration Files -  If you use the Intranet Scanner Module, here is where the "scan.htm" file is saved to.
       
    • Logs - Error logs files.
       
    • Network Scanner Configuration Files - When you configure the Network Scanner Module, the configuration files (*.ezc) are saved to this folder.
       
    • Program - Files required by E-Z Audit.
       
    • Reports - The default folder for saving exports from E-Z Audit.  The HTML Master Report is saved here as well.
       
    • Resources - Files required by E-Z Audit.
       
    • Working - Files required by E-Z Audit.
       

    To assist existing and new users, we have added a number of features that will guide and assist you so this folder structure becomes more transparent and easy to use.

    For example, when you configure an audit, you are shown exactly what to do:


 

  • You no longer configure the scanner at the server using 'ezscan.exe /config'. 

    A new module, config.exe is now available to copy to your server to perform these "on the fly" configuration changes or additions.

    It is in the C:\Program Files\EZAudit\Scanner folder.

To install E-Z Audit Version 11 if you were using an version prior to Version 9:

  • If you have saved audits to your PC under the C:\Program Files\EZAudit\Audits folder, back them up.
     

  • Also back up any reports you saved to your PC in the C:\Program Files\EZAudit\Reports folder.
     

  • Remove the existing installation of E-Z Audit from your PC via the Windows Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs tool.
     

  • Once uninstalled, delete the remaining C:\Program Files\EZAudit folder and subfolders completely.
     

  • Install the new 'ezsetup.msi' file for E-Z Audit Version 11 onto your PC.
     

  • Start E-Z Audit and enter your registration number and Unlock Key file.
     

  • Create new configuration files and deploy the new Scanner Modules.  For what's new about this process, please refer to the Audit from your LAN or WAN section of the User's Guide.
     

  • If you are currently using the Intranet module,  please refer to what's new in the Audit from your Intranet section of the User's Guide.
     

  • If you use the E-Z Audit On-Demand add-on, please refer to the Audit using the On-Demand add-on section of the User's Guide.
