IMPORTANT
If you use a previous version of GeniusConnect:
It is advisable that a backup of linked folders be made prior to this installation.

To do this use the 'Export' buttons at the bottom of the 'Assign table' dialog.

If your current version of GeniusConnect is lower than 3.0.0.0, NO settings will automatically transfer over but must be re-entered.

Please check your settings and folder assignment (primary and mandatory keys) after installation!
