Upgrade from GSEOS 4.5 or GSEOS 5.0 to GSEOS 5.1

 

Before upgrading from GSEOS 4.5 or GSEOS 5.0 to GSEOS 5.1 please carefully read the instructions below. There are some configuration settings regarding formula files (*.qlf) that have changed between the two versions.

Updates

  • Improved Expressions
  • New Conversion Functions
  • Expressions and Conversion Functions are now accessible from Python
  • GSEOS Explorer Support for Expressions and Conversion Functions
  • Upgraded to Python 2.2.3
  • Improved startup speed

Please refer to the documentation for details on Expressions and Conversion Functions.

The following list walks you through the process of upgrading an existing GSEOS 4.5 or GSEOS 5.0 project to GSEOS 5.1. This upgrade essentially consists of replacing gseos.exe as well as all .dll and .pyd files. Also, several of the system directories like Lib, System, Include need to be replaced. Please make a backup of all your files before starting the upgrade process. The general approach is to delete all old files and directories first and then installing the new ones from the archive provided below. Although you can just unzip the archive over the old files (this might leave some of the old files around).

Formulas are now loaded as a common resource and not with a particular screen file. That means that you have to load the formula files you use in the gseos.ini file. If you make changes to screens and add Conversion functions or Expressions you wont be able to load these screen files from GSEOS 5.0 or earlier versions any longer!

Install instructions

  • Make a backup copy of your current GSEOS project.
  • Remove the following directories from your GSEOS root directory:
    .\Include
    .\Python
    .\System
  • Remove the following files from your Gseos root directory:
    gseos.exe
    msvcrt.dll, msvcrtd.dll
    python21.dll, python21_d.dll, python22.dll, python22_d.dll
  • For upgrades from GSEOS 4.5 only: Remove any custom extension *.dll modules. (You will need to download according versions for GSEOS 5.x or recompile them if you created them yourself.)
  • Download the GSEOS 5.1 upgrade files (14MB).
  • Unzip the archive into the GSEOS project root directory, make sure to extract using the path names from the archive.
  • For GSEOS 4.5 upgrades only: Download any custom extension modules (StolEmu, SasfEmu, etc.) from the Download area.
    Make sure to use the extensions modules for version 5.x. If you have custom extension you have written yourself you will need to recompile them:
    For the Borland compiler use the following libraries: gseos50bc.lib and python22bc_d.lib.
    For the Microsoft compiler use the following libraries: gseos50ms.lib and python22_d.lib. Copy the custom modules into the proper directory (depending on extension).
  • Enter all formula files (*.qlf) you usually load from within your screen files in the gseos.ini [Config] section in a Load entry.
  • This upgrade installs GSEOS 5.1.245. Please check in the GSEOS Kernel download area for the latest release.
  • Upgrade to the latest release accordingly.
  • Test the application by starting gseos.exe.
  • If you experience any problems or need assistance go to the  support page.
