For developers working on development environments: If a day version of USoft is already installed on your system, you will be presented with a list of maintenance options at this point. You can choose to:
- Perform a complete new installation. Parameters are collected from a previous installation and you can change them during the setup.
- Perform an overwrite installation. Parameters are collected from a previous installation and you can change them during the setup.
- Perform a passive overwrite installation. Parameters are collected from a previous installation. No dialogs are displayed.
