After you close ZET, any remaining updating is completed automatically.

If auto-updating doesn't work

If the auto-update facility fails to work for any reason, you can download the update files from the ZET Web page whose URL was supplied when you registered the program, and install them manually.

Manual installation of update files requires that they are unpacked using WinRAR software, or with the ZET UnRAR utility available from the Downloads page of the ZET Web site (Additional Files section). Update files are distributed in archived .RAR type format.
