Football Scouting

There are two upgrades available for the Scouting program.  If you are using Version 2002 or Version Three, you do not need the first upgrade.  Scroll down to the Version Three.1 upgrade and do only that upgrade.

If you are using a version other than Version 2002 or Version Three, you must do both upgrades -- in order.  Do the upgrade to Version 2002 first and then do the upgrade to Version Three.1 next.

Upgrade To Version 2002

This update is not a complete stand alone program.  In order to use this update, you must have the original program (installed from the CD) on your computer. 

Downloading and installing this program upgrade will replace only the program files in your computer.  Your data files will remain intact.

Instructions for downloading this file:

• Using the Windows Explorer, create a folder on your computer into which to download the upgrade file.  I often create a temporary folder and use my initials as a name for this folder --- GK.
• Click on the Scout2002Up.exe file below to download it.
• Select the newly created folder on your hard drive as the location into which to save the file. (GK, for example)

Once the file has been downloaded:

• Run the Windows Explorer on your computer and find the new folder in the left hand window.
• Click on the folder to open it and locate the file just downloaded in the right hand window.
• Double click on the file name.
• Click on "Unzip" and unzip all files to the BGScout folder, overwriting the existing files.
• Run the program and select "About This Program" from the Help Menu.   Check the version number and date of your program -- it should be Version 2002 -- if not, you have not done the upgrade correctly.
