Installation notes for RSSOwl:
------------------------------
Java Runtime Environment
In order to use RSSOwl, your computer must have installed the Java Runtime Environment (JRE
in short). If you run "rssowl.exe" before and got the error message:
"Could not launch RSSOwl. Please refer to INSTALL.txt."
,you might not have Java installed on your system.
You can get Java from here: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Follow the instructions as mentioned in "Step 2: Install" if necessary.
After installation, execute "rssowl.exe" again. RSSOwl should now launch as expected.
Updating from previous Versions:
--------------------------------
Updating an existing RSSOwl is very easy!
All settings and favorites should be stored in your user-home directory in a folder
called ".rssowl" that is independant from RSSOwl's installation folder.
On Windows ".rssowl" should be located in "/Documents and Settings/user.name/.rssowl".
On Linux / Solaris take a look at "~/.rssowl", from the console by typing "cd ~/.rssowl"
On Mac the folder is located in "~/Library/Preferences/rssowl".
ATTENTION: We recommend to make a Backup of the "rssowl" folder, since it is containing
all your settings and Favorites. Do so BEFORE installing the new Version.
In the case you are able to locate that folder simply copy the new RSSOwl into the
same folder of the old RSSOwl, overwriting it.
In the case you are not able to locate that folder simply run the old RSSOwl, goto
"Preferences" and perform "Export Settings". That export also includes your favorites.
In the new RSSOwl goto "Preferences" and select "Import Settings". That's it :).
