This will work on all machines. DO NOT do this for new installs unless you have no other way.
Please have your IT guy, or yourself run the following to update web services.


Released webservices can be found here:

Beta webservices can be found here:
www.high5software.com/downloads/webservices/beta/SMEWebServices_x86.msi
www.high5software.com/downloads/webservices/beta/SMEWebServices_x64.msi


1. Download the appropriate web services download from above based off the operating system.
2. Locate the current install of webservices default is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SMEWebservices.
3. Back up web.config to a safe location outside of the folder.
4. Run the uninstaller from the uninstall programs menu. If you are updating by command prompt delete the entire content of the SMEWebServices folder.
