Only one MapGuide installation (via the Windows installer) can exist on any given machine. Use the InstantSetup bundle if side-by-side installs are required. Be sure to back up any data and applications before carrying out the new installation. Before upgrading, it is recommended that you take a backup of your existing repository (whether that is through creating MGP packages with the MapGuide Site Administrator or using the provided repository backup tools/scripts) == Sample Data == * [http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/releases/3.0.0/extras/Sheboygan.mgp Sheboygan.mgp] * Size: 13,604,700 bytes * md5: 351b21e2c432b493fe2f073d7ab10205 == Extra Files == Due to size constraints, the binary packages for this release of MapGuide omit the following CS-Map data files: * USA: * NSRS 2007/2011 datum shift files * 1996/1999/2003 Geoid height data files * Australia: * GDA 2020 datum shift files These extra files are available for download as a separate 7-zip archive: * [http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/releases/4.0.0/Preview1/Dictionaries_Extra.7z Dictionaries_Extra.7z] * Size: 230,627,172 bytes * SHA-1: 798b189f88a2d50c71f1d01cfdcdeac9939ccb11 To install these files, extract the contents into your `Dictionaries` folder of your CS-Map installation.
