Before installation
Removing an old version: Make sure you remove the old version of Connector before installing a new one. Connector can be installed in two different locations: ProgramFiles and ProgramData. Check both locations and delete all old files.
Checking the configuration file: The old configuration file of the Connector (config.xml), located in the ProgramData folder, may remain in the system and affect the new installation. Remember to delete this file if you do not want the new Connector to use the old settings.
Download the new version
You can download the latest Connector version directly from Maventa's documentation. Before downloading, please make sure that you have completed the above steps.
