International Glazing Database
Detailed Update Instructions

  1. Save Data and Quit Other Programs:
    this is always good practice when installing updates.
  2. Download and Extract Package:  
    Download the file "IGDB Update 1
    3.0.exe" by clicking the link below. This will extract two new files, named "IGDB Update.mdb" and "Update Wizard.exe".  The default folder where the files are extracted is
    "
    c:\IGDB Update Wizard".
  3. Update IGDB (Optics5 Only): Run the file  "Update Wizard.exe" to start the update process. When the update is finished, you may remove the temporary directory  including the 2 extracted files.
    Note:  If the update fails, your original database will not be modified.

Update pack 13.0 will upgrade IGDB 12.7 or higher used by Optics5 (versions 5.1.00 and higher) to version number 13.0.  

You can also use the database in this update pack to add new files to the WINDOW 5.1 glass library by following the instructions provided with WINDOW 5.1.

You cannot update previous versions of the IGDB database (12.2 or lower) because the format has changed - first update your Optics program installation to the latest version which includes the new database format.
