We have been using version 2014A for a number of years to transfer data from one application to another with a Windows 7 desktop machine.  That machine literally died and we made the decision to move to a Windows 10 machine.  We are having an issue getting the transfer work automatically using Windows Task Scheduler and WinBatch, and would like to upgrade to the latest WinBatch version as part of our process of elimination.
How does the upgrade process work?  Can we simply buy/download the latest version and install it over the current version?  Will we need to modify our current .wbt files or will they work with the latest version?

Thanks,
Tom

You can simply install a new version over the older version of WinBatch by running the setup.exe program.  You will not likely need to modify any scripts but you can check by reading the readme.txt file that is part of the installation.  It contains a list of breaking changes for each version.
