Preparations
1. If MCMP-PAT is installed locally on your machine, make sure that none of the following is open by checking your Task Bar: MCMP-PAT, offline User's Guide, Cryptographer, Key Viewer and Updater. The Task Bar is the small area generally located at the bottom of your screen that lists the programs that are currently open, displays the current time and contains shortcuts. If MCMP-PAT is installed on a machine used by several users, let the system administrator update MCMP-PAT. The sytem administrator must then make sure that no one is using MCMP-PAT before upgrading it to the latest version.
2. Take note of the location where MCMP-PAT is installed. The default lcoation is C:\Program Files\MCMPPAT but the user who installed the application could have installed it somewhere else. It is important that the updated files be extracted into the correct folder so make sure that you have the exact location. To determine the location of the MCMP-PAT installation folder, right click on it's icon on your Desktop and select Properties. A dialog box similar to the one below will then appear. Copy the value in the Start in field if it is different from the default location. Close the dialog box by clicking on Cancel.

Steps
Note: The steps below assume that you are using Internet Explorer. If you are using a different browser, some of the steps will not apply but the flow of the process should still be the same.
1. Download the updated files of the tool from here: Download Link. This is a self-extracting file that contains the updated MCMP-PAT files.
2. A File Download dialog box will be shown. In the dialog box , click the Save button.
3. In the Save As dialog box, save the file on the Desktop. The file can be saved in other locations as well.
4. If a similar file already exists on the target location, the message box below will appear. Confirm that you are overwriting the existing file by clicking on Yes. The filename of the self-extracting compressed file that contains the updated files will always be MCMPPAT_UpdatedFiles.exe regardless of the updated version number.
5. Wait until the the browser is done downloading the whole file. Once the file is fully downloaded, two things can happen: either the File Download dialog box will stay open or it will close without confirmation. This depends on your browser settings.
5-a. If the dialog box is still shown, click on Run.
5-b. If the dialog box automatically closes after downloading the file, go to your Desktop or to the folder where you saved the file and double click on the file MCMPPAT_UpdatedFiles.exe.
Depending on your security settings you may get a Security Warning dialog box. If this happens, click on Run.
6. Next, a WinZip Self-Extractor dialog box will appear. If needed, change the location specified in the Unzip to folder field to the location where MCMP-PAT is installed. Otherwise, leave the default value and click the Unzip button. After a successful extraction, a dialog box will appear showing the number of files unzipped. Click the OK button to close the message box. In the WinZip Self-Extractor dialog box click Close.
7. Logon to MCMP-PAT and confirm if the version number displayed in the Logon screen has changed to a latest version.
