Visual Prolog 7.2 Upgrade Notes

Upgrading Projects from Visual Prolog 7.1 to Visual Prolog 7.2

By default, the installation of Visual Prolog 7.2 will not replace any previous version of Visual Prolog while installation.

The new version will be installed by default to C:\Program Files\Visual Prolog 7.2. You can remove previous versions at any time, or you may continue to work with both.

Visual Prolog 7.2 projects are backward-compatible with Visual Prolog 7.1 projects.

If you are going to use different versions of Visual Prolog installed at one computer, avoid opening projects by double-clicking on prj6 files.

Some changes might require automatic updates in Visual Prolog 7.1 projects. Therefore, it is recommended to make the project file (PRJ6) writable before the first build.

After you open your project in the Visual Prolog 7.2 IDE, the IDE will fulfill necessary updates.

After this, it is recommended to rebuild the project with the help of the Build | Rebuild All command and answer "Yes to All" to the message "The new module is required to be added into the project".
