If you have your own customized database, please do not run the PhotochemCAD Installer (filename: photochemcad_installer.exe) from the Downloads page. If you run the new installer you could lose your customized database. To avoid any loss of your own database, please follow these steps: • From the Downloads page, download the zipped PhotochemCAD program files (filename: photochemcad.zip). Do not download the PhotochemCAD Installer (filename: photochemcad_installer.exe). • Extract the photochemcad.zip file. • Look in the extracted files and locate the folder named Molecule Database. In that folder, locate these two files: • MOLECULE_db.db • benzene.ems.txt • Replace your existing files named MOLECULE_db.db and benzene.ems.txt with the new files of the same name. In this manner, your own database will not be affected, and you do not need to install the March 6, 2009 update to PhotochemCAD Version 2.1.
