After successful installation of this file, download and install  EPI Suite updated files 2017.zip(25 pp, 19 MB) . The files in the zip file are NOT a complete installation of the EPI SuiteTM.  To function correctly, they require files from the already installed version of the EPI SuiteTM v4.11 (November 2012), provided above.  The newer 38 files from the zip file must over-write the older files from the already installed version.

The zip file contains 40 individual files. Of the 40 files, 38 files are used to over-write existing files with the same name in the previous EPI SuiteTM installation (November 2012).  Two new data files, provided as excel spreadsheet files, are included that relate to updates of the BIOWIN Program and updates to programs involving organosilicon compounds.

  1. Copy the zip file into the folder containing the current EPI SuiteTM installation and “unzip” the file allowing the unzip to over-write existing files.
  2. Copy the zip file  into an empty folder and unzip the files there.  Then copy all files from the unzip and copy them into the folder containing the current EPI SuiteTM installation and allow the copy to over-write existing files.
  3. The default installation folder of this installation is:  C:\EPISUITE41\. The files that need to be over-written by this June 2017 Update are included in this installation folder.  If the EPI SuiteTM v4.11 (November 2012) was installed in a different folder, then the files in that different folder need to be over-written.
