The following patch files are available at no charge. However, they are "patches" to
lottery software programs and will ONLY work with exactly the files to be patched. Please do not call
or email us to say that it does not work on Advantage Plus release 3.43. That program is older
than the versions specified below. We do not offer free program patches for versions older than
the ones listed. If you have an older version, see about our software upgrades.
NO TELEPHONE TECHNICAL SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS. If you have a problem, you can
contact Support.
Be sure to describe the problem as accurately and with as much detail as you can.
If you don't get a reply within one or two
business days, try sending an email to yourself to make sure your return address is
correct and reply to that email to make sure your return address is correctly reported.
If you are using AOL or (Internet Explorer) and your Internet Security is set to the highest
level, you will not be able to download these EXE files. You will have to change the security
setting to "medium" in order to proceed.
If the option is available when you click on the links below, choose "run from this
location" rather than save to file. It is much simpler, as you don't have to locate where
the file was saved on your computer.
If you can't run from our site, then download by right-mouse clicking on the link below
and choose "Save target as ..." When the file dialog box opens, locate the GH folder
(normally c:\gh) and save the file there.
When the download is complete, use Windows explorer to locate the c:\gh folder,
then click on the exe file that you downloaded (or double click if that's the way your
windows is set up). This will install the patch automatically.
Each patch contains a .txt file link shown after the program file link below describing
the latest changes to the program.
Note: we have made a serious and time consuming effort to provide these free software patches but
there may still be a few intermediate releases that will not patch. We cannot guarantee
that your version will be patchable even though it might fall within the range of versions
specified. If your patch fails and you have previously upgraded by patching, try re-installing
the patchable version from your original disks and try patching again. We have re-done the
installation programs used in these patches to eliminate some known issues. If you encounter
specific problems, please let us know about them by email.
(Note: don't re-install the Advantage Plus History disks or you will lose your current
history information.)
All patches will search your hard drives looking for a prior installation. You can press
the spacebar to interrupt the search if you know where you installed the program or you
installed it in the default location.
Advantage Plus Version 3.55 05/11/04
patch = apf355.exe (list of changes aplus.txt)
This will upgrade any Advantage Plus release
from version 3.43a or newer to version 3.53. It creates and removes a temporary directory
and will search your hard drives to find the folder to patch, so this does not need to be
downloaded into the Advantage Plus folder but can be placed anywhere so long as you can
find it. Last updated May 11, 2004

If you've never purchased software, none of the patches or upgrades will work because
they are designed as updates to existing programs.
