To access the Software Update (Manage Plug-Ins) task, select MarkVision Software Update (Manage Plug-Ins) on the MVP home screen.
The Manage Plug-Ins screen lists all of the plug-ins that are currently installed. If there are no plug-ins listed, you can download the current updates from this address: www.markvisionprofessional.com.
The manage plug-ins screen then provides two management options: Remove and Install New.The Remove option lets you uninstall a selected plug-in. First select the plug-in(s) that you want to uninstall from the list. You can select multiple list entries by holding down either the Shift or Control keys while clicking the desired plug-ins. Click Remove. This removes the selected plug-in(s) from the server and the client. The uninstall script on both the server and the client then determines if a restart is needed.
When you click Install New... a dialog box appears that lets you select a plug-in from the directory to be installed on the server. Once a plug-in file has been selected, a confirmation screen appears containing more specific information about the plug-in(s) that you have selected and provide you with the option to proceed with installation. The successful installation of a plug-in is then announced to all clients connected to the server through the MVP message window located at the bottom of the MVP home screen.
After a plug-in has been installed on the server, the MVP client receives information on the plug-in versions that have been installed and details on which plug-ins contain downloadable client components. If new client components are available, the client determines if the server and itself are compatible and then automatically downloads the client component of any plug-ins that it does not already have.
Note: If the client and server are not compatible because the client contains a component that the server does not have, a warning message is issued and any incompatible client components are removed.
