After choosing to download a TheraQuick update (see previous tutorial), the compressed zip file containing the update will be placed on your desktop.
If you have been notified that a new version of TheraQuick is available, and you have downloaded it (see previous tutorial), the zip file will be downloaded to your desktop.

Windows users: right click on the file and select “Extract All” or double-click on the file and select “Extract All” from the upper left hand corner and follow the extraction wizard.
The zip file will decompress and the TheraQuick Update folder will be created.
After confirming that the TheraQuick Update folder has been extracted, you can delete the zip file, if desired.
Copy the TheraQuick Update folder to the same volume as your TheraQuick file. It does not have to be in the same directory, but it must share the same root volume (such as the startup volume).
In this example, the TheraQuick file is in a folder within the "My Client Records" folder. The TheraQuick Update folder can be copied (or moved) into the same folder as your TheraQuick file.
