EmbARK 9.5.5 Update
Installation Directions
Please note: The version 9.5.5 update files should only be used if you have already installed version 9.5.
- Windows Single User Installation:

The datafile path is displayed at the bottom of the screen.) Your data file should be in the “Embark Data” folder we created. - Quit out of the EmbARK application.
- Recommended: Make a backup copy of your datafile to a safe location. (Be sure to copy the .4DD, .4DINDX, and .Match files.)
- Download the Windows Single User update file: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zaor7zpvd3q4t9p/AADFK9TjIMBS6aPBRijGfTZ3a?dl=0
- Locate the download file and be sure to decompress the files out of the zip format. Copy the “EmbARK955u_win” folder to the Desktop.
- Open the folder called “Copy to Database folder” and copy the 3 files located inside of it.
You will see files with the same filenames as the newly downloaded ones. Paste the new files into the database folder (over-writing the existing ones). - Restart EmbARK. (Launch EmbARK.exe and navigate to the location of the datafile noted above. Recommended Note: Right-click EmbARK.exe and choose “Run as Admin” when launching. This provides elevated rights to run an application like EmbARK. You can set this as a default by right-clicking EmbARK.exe, selecting Properties, then go the “Compatiblility” tab; click the checkbox called “Run this program as an administrator”.
