Subject: RLSS Software Revisions (version 1.1.1.22)
As an added note, revision 1.1.1.21 does not exist. We have advanced from version 1.1.1.20 directly to version 1.1.1.22.
1.   On each computer using GMS-RLSS, type in the Windows search bar Add/Remove Programs. Select GMS-RLSS and select Remove or Uninstall.
2.  Download the new RLSSInstallation.exe from the link below:
3.   Save it into your RLSS Revision folder on the file server, if networked, otherwise on your local C drive.
a. Locate the RLSSRevisions folder and double left click on RLSSInstallation.exe and select Run. A WinZip Self-Extractor screen will appear.
b. Select Browse to find the location of the RLSSRevisions folder, so that \RLSSRevisions is in the box under Files to be extracted to this folder. Click Unzip.
c. When it asks you the password to unzip the file, enter rlssinstall and click on Ok. You will receive the message that 1 file successfully unzipped. Close the screen.
d. Still using Windows Explorer, find the RLSSRevision folder where you unzipped the file to.
e. Double click on the Windows Installer titled RLSSInstallation.msi. (Do not select the Application with the similar name.)
f. Follow on-screen directions for the installation.
NOTE: Should you receive the message that you need to install .NET, go to Control Panel/Programs/Turn Windows features on or off. Click the box next to .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0). Click OK and retry the installation process.
4.  Repeat steps 3d, 3e, and 3f on all computers using GMS-RLSS.
5.  Follow the link below to download the RLSS Software Revisions for December to update the database: :
Download and Save this file to the RLSSRevision folder on the network drive, or on the C drive if you are not networked. Click on Save, or Save As, to select the location, then select the drive and path where the RLSSRevision folder exists.
A.   On one workstation, using Windows Explorer, locate the RLSSRevision folder or the folder where you downloaded the RLSSDecember21.exe (either the network drive or the C drive if not networked). Double click on the exe file. If you get an Open file – Security warning, click on Run.
B.   Unzip to folder: Select the RLSSRevision folder (located either on the network drive or the C drive if not networked), then in that field type manually \December21, so that the path for unzipping is RLSSRevision\December21 and click on Unzip.
You will need to enter the password December2021 when you unzip this file. If the confirm file overwrite message appears, click on Yes. It should tell you that 11 files unzipped successfully. Close out of the Self Extractor form.

Double click on UpdateRLSSDB.exe that is located in the RLSSRevision\December21 folder.
Select Microsoft Access Database.
Select the folder where your current database exists and double click on rlss.mdb. If you only have one RLSS directory, it will typically be in the RLSSData folder on your network drive. Note: If you do not have your database on a network drive, you will find it in C:\RLSSData.
Click on Backup Database. This will make a copy of your present database and save it with a different name in the same folder as your current database. After the completion bar is filled, the Update Database button will be enabled.
Click on Update Database. The automatic installation program will now update your database with the changes included with this revision. You will receive a message “Database has been updated”. Click on Ok and exit the Update Database form.
If you get the message that the database needs updated to version 1.1.1.20 first before it will allow you install this revision, please click on the following link to download and install version 1.1.1.20. https://www.gmsactg.com/rlss-software-revision-12-2020/ After you have successfully installed version 1.1.1.20, you may then start again with Step C to update to version 1.1.1.22.
If you have a different database that rlss1 and/or rlss2 are pointed to, you need to repeat the appropriate section C for each database.
