Update from 7.01 (any earlier date) to 7.02 (current)

If you previously updated your version of Chief to a version date other than those listed, you will need to delete the patched file and recover the original Chief70.exe dated 12-01-00 from the Chief Architect 7.0 software CD.

If you need to recover the original Chief70.exe

  1. Insert the Chief Architect 7.0 CD. When the Auto Install comes up, exit.
  2. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the CD.
  3. Explore the CD.
  4. Find the folder named "Chief70". In the Chief70 folder, find a file named "Chief70.exe". Right click on it. A grey box will come up. Left click "copy".
  5. Navigate to the installed Chief Architect folder on the hard drive. (If you installed using defaults, the folder will be C:\Program Files\ART\Chief70). Right click on the Chief70 folder on the hard drive and left click "paste". That should paste a copy of the Chief70.exe file into your working installation. If you see a message that says the file already exists, replace it.
  6. Open the Chief70 folder on the hard disk(C:) and look for the Chief70.exe file that was just pasted in. Right click on it. At the bottom of the small grey box, choose properties. There will be a check in the "read only" check box. Remove the check. Use the OK button to exit the dialog boxes.
  7. Return to the Updates page and click on the link for those running 7.0 as their current version.
