If you click "Yes" button in the dialog's window, then the program will closed automatically, updating will be completed, and the program will run again automatically, just updated. If you click "No" button (e.g. you want to save your work), then will closed only this dialog.

After you close ZET, any remaining updating is completed automatically.

When you have restarted ZET, open the About window and check the version number to confirm that the update installed successfully.

If the auto-update facility fails to work for any reason, you can download the update files from the ZET Web page whose URL was supplied when you registered the program, and install them manually.

Manual installation of update files requires that they are unpacked using WinRAR software, or with the ZET UnRAR utility available from the Downloads page of the ZET Web site (Additional Files section). Update files are distributed in archived .RAR type format.
