Updating using the latest MSI

Before installing Read&Write, Microsoft .Net Framework 4.8 must be installed on the computer.

You can get the latest version of  the Read&Write redistributable MSI from our Read&Write Software Downloads article.

If you are using a Group or Unlimited license you can download the MSI installer package.  To access the Read&Write for Windows MSI, please extract all files from the zipped folder.

 For Single or Access to Work licenses a self extracting exe will be downloaded.  This cannot be deployed across a network.

 For more detailed information on installing Read&Write, visit the Installation Guide section of our website.

Updating using the patches

You can get the links to the patches that have been released for Read&Write (v12) from our Patch Downloads list.  Each patch must be installed individually and sequentially.

Read&Write for Work 12.1.0 and above does not include the option of auto updates/patching. You just need to uninstall and reinstall the latest version to get updates.
