If you have problems downloading, you can order the trial version on CD.
NB: if you are a licensed user and you want to upgrade from a previous version to versions 7.09 or above, you will have to request for a new license.
Please note: that there are two types of installations for version 7.10.01, these are: New installation and Upgrading from an existing database.
New Installation
Download all installation files (setup, disk1, disk2, .....) to a folder on your hard disk e.g. "C:\LPF Install"
Create a temporary directory e.g. "C:\temp". Copy the setup.exe from the folder "C:\LPF Install" into this directory. Then double-click on this file to start the LOAN PERFORMER installation procedure and follow the instructions displayed on screen. By default the software is installed on your hard disk in the folder "C:\LPF710".
Once your computer has finished with the first file (setup.exe), the installation process will ask you to insert the next disk (Disk1.bnd). If this does not happen, then you know that there was a problem with the last file (setup.exe) and maybe this file was not correctly downloaded and you have to download it again and repeat the installation.
If all goes well, you can copy Disk1.bnd from the "C:\LPF Install" directory into "C:\temp" and click on the OK button to continue the installation with the next disk.
Now the process repeats itself. If all goes well, you will be asked to insert the next disk. If not you know that there is a problem with this file/disk and you need to download this again. You can continue in this way until all files are done and you get a message that the software has been successfully installed on your computer.
Upgrade from an existing database
In a situation where you want to upgrade, please use the following procedure:
BACK UP your current database!
Follow steps 1 to 5 of the "New Installation" section above to ensure that there are no corrupt files and that a new installation of LOAN PERFORMER is properly done.
Delete the files in the folder "C:\LPF710\Data", they are just empty.
Copy all the files from your old version's data folder. Assuming that your old version is 6.17 and your database folder was "C:\LPF617\Data", then copy the contents of "C:\LPF617\Data" and paste this into "C:\LPF710\Data".
Search for a file called LPF.INI in the folder "C:\LPF710", if this file exists, open it with Notepad and check whether the variable 'Database' is showing the correct database folder. If not change this.
If you are upgrading from a version 6 database, you should also copy the file "Path.lpf" from the former LOAN PERFORMER folder into the folder C:\LPF710. Open this file with Notepad and change the contents to "C:\LPF710\Data". This should refer to the data directory where your new data files are stored.
At this point things may be different depending on
whether your former version was lower than or equal/higher than 6.17. If it is 6.17 or
higher, you have to download a file called "Patch710.exe"
(1805 KB) into the program folder (normally C:\LPF710). You then have to run
this patch
(double click on the file name in Explorer). This will upgrade your database to version
7.10.
BUT you can only use Patch710.exe for databases from version 6.17 onwards. So if your
database was of a lower version than 6.17, you first need to upgrade it to version 6.17
with the file patch617.exe (3,427 KB). After this
is done successfully, you need to download to the 7.10 program folder and execute
Patch710.exe.
The patch file will read the path to the data from the file LPF.INI and update the database that is indicated in this directory to the desired version. If you have to upgrade several databases, you will have to change the contents of the file LPF.INI with Notepad, make it point to the next database and run the Patch file again.
After running the patch, you can run the new version of LOAN PERFORMER.
Now you don't need the old LOAN PERFORMER directory anymore (where you had the old version/database), but wait with deleting it until you are sure the new version runs correctly.
