Updates for BibleWorks 4, Revisions 1 & 2

All BibleWorks updates are in the form of "patches" to the databases on the BibleWorks 4.0 CD. You will need the CD to apply these patches. To install a patch, download and run it from any location. You must install BibleWorks before applying these patches and cannot use them if you are running in "CD Only" mode.   If you are having trouble, or need more detailed directions, click here.

Please note: if you have the BibleWorks 4.0, Rev. 2 CD then you do not need to apply any of the patches with dates before May 21, 1999 (when the CD was finalized). You can tell by looking on the CD. The initial release had no Revision number. The second pressing has a "Rev. 2" label on the CD.

BibleWorks Release Version - These files update the BibleWorks program executables. Choose the proper file for the Operating System that you are running. Please note that if you update to the latest executable you must also update your WTT/WTM files (see below). These executables will not work properly with the Hebrew databases shipped with the Release 1 BibleWorks CD.  All other databases should be ok.

To update BibleWorks 4.0 from this website, simply follow the directions below:

See Troubleshooting below for solutions if you are having trouble.

1. To download an update, click the appropriate link and save the update file to your hard drive. Be sure to make note of the file name so you can easily find it.
2. Your browser may ask if you want to run this program from its current location or save it to disk. Choose to "Save to disk".
3. You will then be given a "Save As" dialog just like if you have chosen to save a document or any other file you were using. Simply choose a location on your hard drive for the file and click "Save".
4. When the download is finished, find the file you downloaded by opening the folder in which you saved it.
5. Put your BibleWorks Installation CD in the drive and give the computer a few seconds to recognize that it is there and then double-click the update file you downloaded. This will start the patch installation program, which will do the rest for you.

Troubleshooting:

There are a several reasons why the patch files might fail to install.

1. The patch will not work if you have downloaded a patch for the wrong CD Revision.  If your CD is Rev 2 download the Rev 2 patches, if your CD is Rev 3 download the Rev 3 patches, etc. 
2. The patch program must read your BibleWorks initialization file in order to determine where BibleWorks is installed on your system.  The initialization file is only created after you have run BibleWorks at least once.  Make sure you have an initialization file named bworks95.ini located in your C:\windows folder and try the update again. 
3. You may have run a hard disk clean-up utility such as "CleanSweep".  These utilities incorrectly remove files needed for the update process.  If you have run these utilities then you will need to reinstall BibleWorks to make sure all of the files are in place.  
4. If you have a Rev 2 CD, you may be trying to install an update that you do not need.  The date of the files on the Rev 2 CD is May 21, 1999.  Therefore, if you have a Rev 2 CD, you do not need any of the patches with dates earlier than this.  If have a Rev 2 CD and you attempt to install a patch with an earlier date, it will not install.  Your Rev number is printed on your CD directly above the copyright info.  If no Rev number is printed, then you have Rev 1. 
5. There may have been a problem with the download and the file is not valid.  Try downloading the patch file again.
   
   Also read the messages carefully that appear on your screen as the update is installed.  If a problem is encountered it will usually say so here.
