[[File:Badge vMx.png]]'''Cumulus MX: The release is supplied as a zip of all files (whether changed or same as before), unzip it into a suitable holding area. Copy those files, that the release announcement says have changed, into the correct folders. Then, when you next start Cumulus MX it will be the next release''' (If you have edited any of the files, don't overwrite those files you have changed).
More detail available at [[Cumulus_MX#Updating_to_a_new_MX_release|Updating_to_a_new_MX_release]].

''Occasionally, there may be actions you need to perform before or after the upgrade.'' Required actions usually appear in the announcement of the build you are installing, and for Cumulus 1 may be documented in the readme.txt file that will appear as you run the installer. Read such announcements for every release since your existing build in case any of the in-between changes affect you.
 
 
{{Version badge 1}}'''Cumulus 1 only:'''
The Cumulus 1 installer will always upgrade the following files (replacing them, ignoring whether same or different to existing versions):
# "cumulus.exe"; - the latest build
# "unins000.exe";
# "libeay32.dll";
# "ssleay32.dll";
# "readme.txt"; - advice for you to follow at installation time
# "licence.txt"; - reminder about restrictions on use
# "alert.wav"; - default alarm sound
# "web\originals\*.*"; - Cumulus will always install the HTML template files here
# "webfiles\*.*"; e.g. weatherstyle.css, wz_jsgraphics.js
# "webfiles\images\picture.jpg";
# "Help\Cumulus.chm"; - the latest help including lists of log files and web tags
There may be extra files automatically upgraded by particular builds - see announcement.
 
During the install, you will see a '''Select Components''' screen , if you tick the ''HTML templates'' (the default) it will also upgrade the HTML template files in the web folder.
 
*So tick this option, if you have a standard Cumulus implementation and then you can be sure to upgrade the standard templates.
*Untick this option if you have [[Customised_templates#Creating_Your_Own_Templates|customised the existing pages]], so that if your customised versions are in "web\*.*" they don't get overwritten. It is recommended that you store any customised pages in a directory outside the Cumulus folder, as you can specify up to 10 such files on the local side of the files tab in the Configuration menu Internet settings screen and (if you are not using standard files) untick ''Include Standard Files'' on the same screen. (100 such files can be specified in [[Cumulus.ini]]).
