Our patches are designed to upgrade minor installed versions (e.g. version 1.0 to version 1.1) for both trial and licensed installations of Port80 Software products. Given that IIS is a service, and a patch will update the related ISAPI filter in your Port80 tool running within that service, we recommend these instructions to successfully apply a patch:

Steps to Patch All Port80 Software Products for Minor Version Upgrades

1. Close out your IIS manager, the MMC, and any open Port80 Software products' UI and Setting Managers.
2. Stop IIS on the command line with the command "net stop w3svc".
3. Select your patch below (if available), download it, and run patch to install new code on your IIS server.
4. Confirm your successful patch with our InstallCheck utility.
5. Restart IIS and then test your updated Port80 tool -- especially any of your settings that have been previously customized from their original defaults.
6. If InstallCheck reports a successful upgrade, but you are not seeing any of the expected functionality of your Port80 tool, try restarting the server again and retesting.
7. If you patch fails or you need to do a major version upgrade, please follow the full uninstall/reinstall steps below.

Our patch system works for minor version upgrades, but your will need to do a full uninstall/reinstall for a major version upgrade. Additionally, sometimes ISAPI filters can fail during installation (get install tips), especially for Web servers under request load, and a reinstallation may be required. Follow these instructions to do a full uninstallation/reinstallation for a Port80 tool:

Steps to Full Uninstall/Reinstall All Port80 Software Products for Major Version Upgrades or Bad Installations
