I've been trying to upgrade to the latest version from version 45,but can't get this figured out.I downloaded the jEmplode 60 file and then unzipped with winzip.I navigate to the jEmplode application file and click on it but it still says version 45.Am I doing something wrong?

I don't think you have to do any unzipping. You should be able to download the latest jemplode.jar file (Version 60 now) and save it to your current Jemplode directory (usually C:/Program Files/Jemplode) and overwrite the old jemplode.jar file.

Version 45 is pretty old, but I think all of the changes are just in the jemplode.jar file, so simply replaceing it will upgrade you. I did no unzipping at all.

If you have no version of Jemplode installed... I honestly don't know how you'd get a "base install" from www.jempeg.org. Maybe having Java installed on your machine is enough?

Ok thanks i'll work on that and check back later.

I did just this but it still says version 45.Any other thoughts?

The recommended way of doing things these days is to download jemplode.jar and just run the jar by double-clicking it. This is a problem in some cases because people have their zip tools associated with .jar (.jar is technically just .zip) rather than java.

From a full install, I believe jemplode.jar is in the "lib" directory not the install root. Basically you will need to overwrite a previous jemplode.jar. If you're just putting the current jemplode.jar in a folder somewhere where there wasn't one before (assuming you're upgrading here), then it's not enough.

If your doubleclick-jar is stolen by zip, you have two options 1) reinstall the jvm (www.java.com) which will reassociated .jar or 2) run jemplode.jar from the commandline or from a batch file "java -jar jemplode.jar".

Here is the way I do it:

Create an empty directory c:\Program Files\jEmplode
If you have plugins, create a plugins directory c:\Program Files\jEmplode\plugins and copy the plugin .jar files there
Copy jemplode.jar into said directory
Create a shortcut whose target is: javaw.exe -jar jemplode.jar
Make the Start In directory c:\Program Files\jEmplode
I change the icon to the jEmplode.ico icon file (from an earlier release, Mike, maybe you could bundle the ico file in the .jar file also so folks could extract if they like)

Double click on the shortcut to run jEmplode.

Thank you, that did the trick.
