Upgrading the .DLL files

By upgrading the .DLL files, the new translations are added to the resource files that you can use for Infor Fashion PLM.

Note: All previous modifications for the English translations are replaced by the default setting of the new resource files after you upgrade the Infor Fashion PLM application. We recommend that you create a copy of the modified files for English translations before upgrading the application to keep the changes in the latest version.
  1. From the toolbar, select File > Options > Directory Settings, or click the Options icon.
  2. In the Working Area Path field, use the existing folder that is specified by default. Optionally, specify a different folder that you want to use as working area.
    Note: You can specify the folder that you created to copy the modified files of English translations to keep your changes after upgrading the .DLL files.
  3. Click Save to copy the modified resource files from the previous version.
    Note: You must save the directory settings whether you changed the Working Area Path or used the location from the previous version.
  4. If the resource files are not compiled, click Compile Resource Files to DLL.
  5. Click Extract DLL File.
  6. Optionally, to view the downloaded .RES files, click a folder in the Working Area.

  8. To open .RES files individually, expand a language folder and select a .RES file.
    The file is displayed on the workbench. The new resource keys for the selected .RES file are highlighted on the workbench.
