Wauton Samuel Upgrade (WSUPG) - Release; 5.0.0
What is WSUPG?
WS UPG is a new application that has been released by Wauton Samuel to help our
clients quickly upgrade Pasapp. The application has been developed after surveys
with clients highlighted the fact that clients wanted a more simplistic method to
upgrade Pasapp in the school. Currently the application is optional and supplied
free of charge to all clients that hold a current licence, we are in the process
of making appointments with schools to install WSUPG but due to demand this will
take time. If you prefer not to wait you can follow the instructions below to install
it in your school.

Version.
- PASAPP should close and WSUPG should launch.
- WSUPG has the ability to update it self, therefore the first thing it will do is
check for new versions of itself. If one is available it will download its update.
The process will then unzip the upgrade files, update the database and then copy
new files to the location of the data.
- After the upgrade has completed, WSUPG will report any errors it has found during
the upgrade. Please contact Wauton Samuel if you receive any errors.
- WSUPG will then launch PASAPP
Client Machines (all other computers on the network that use PASAPP)
- On each of your client machines PASAPP should detect a new version has been installed
and will want to update itself to the upgraded version. When prompted, Click ‘Yes’
to copy the new version from the server.
- PASAPP will close and WSUPG will launch again. This time it will get the updated
application from the server and copy them to the client machine.
- Once WSUPG has finished copying, launch PASAPP and check the version number to make
sure it has upgraded.
The WSUPG application which is on the CD or has been downloaded from our website
needs to be installed on every client machine that uses PASAPP in order for the
upgrade process to be completely successful.
If you are using WSUPG 5.0.0 and are upgrading to Pasapp 2.0.0, you will need to run
this application on each machine.
