Purpose
In some cases it is necessary to update the VE Client Converter of ECTR to a later version. This update can be done either by installing a latest version of ECTR or by manually replacing the VE Client Converter directory. Since VE Client Converter is usually downward compatible, an exchange with a higher version is possible.
Overview
This guide explains the manual exchange of the VE Client Converter directory.
