4. Scroll down through the list until you find “Microtest Apollo Extract SDK”, and then click it. Windows will highlight this entry so that it appears like this:
   
   
   
   
   Note – If “Microtest Apollo Extract SDK” is not listed at all, jump to step 8 in order to install it.
5. Click the “Click here for support information” link to display a new dialog containing information about this software. If the version information is 03.02.0009 (as shown below), this means that the workstation is already running the latest version of the Apollo software, so you may close all Windows and skip to the What To Do Next section.

After a few seconds, the “Microtest Apollo Extract SDK – InstallShield Wizard” dialog will appear. Click the “Remove” option so that it is selected (as shown below), then click “Next >”
   
   
   
7. You will now be asked to confirm you want to remove this application – click “Yes”. The software will now be removed, and when the process is complete, you’ll see a dialog containing the message “InstallShield Wizard has finished uninstalling Microtest Apollo Extract SDK.”. Click the “Finish” button to close this dialog.
8. Close the “Add or Remove Programs” dialog by clicking the “X” button in the top right-hand corner.
9. Click here to start installing the new version of the Microtest Apollo software. When asked to run or save the file, choose “Run”. If you see a "Security Warning" dialog which states that the publisher could not be verified, click the "Run" button here as well. After a few seconds, this dialog appears:
   
   
   
   
   Click “Next >” to continue.
10. Accept the license agreement as prompted, then click “Next >” again.
11. On the next dialog box, click “Install” to start the installation process – it should take less than a minute. When it has finished, you’ll see a message stating that “The InstallShield Wizard has successfully installed Microtest Apollo SDK.”. Click “Finish”.
12. In order to check the correct version has installed, repeat steps 1-5 – the version information should now be shown as 03.02.0009 as stated in step 5.
