titleUninstall previous versions...

We recommend uninstalling previous versions of the software before installing a new version, especially if you are upgrading from a version older than version 6. Uninstalling the old version is not usually required but can help avoid confusion caused by having more than one version of the program installed at the same time.

Uninstalling the software will not affect any saved data files.

Recent versions of the PRL Reporting Software include an

“Uninstall”

“Uninstall” shortcut in the All Programs

/

->Pesticide Reporting group, but for older versions you will need to open the Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features dialog from the Control Panel and remove the old program from there.

Double-click (or right-click and choose Install) the installation file.  There are several steps in the wizard; for some of the steps, you can change the default values. We recommend that you keep the default values unless you have a good, compelling reason to change them.  As you click through the steps, please note the following

  • Step 2 provides contact information. 
  • Step 3 allows you to choose the installation folder.  The default is C:\Program Files\NYSPRL.
  • Step 4 sets the Report Root or parent folder for your PRL reports.  This  PRL report folder, which is the folder where your reports will be stored.  The default is the C drive.

Note

You can change the default Report Root setting here or while running the PRL Reporting Software. The Report Root will contain a folder for each

Report Year

report year; the sub-folders are named PRLyyyy, where

“yyyy”

yyyy is the report year.

For example, if you set the Report Root to C:\PRL and create reports for

2011

2022 and

2012

2023, the C:\PRL folder will contain two sub-folders:

PRL2011

PRL2022 and

PRL2012

PRL2023.
