A few quick steps to better understand your calculators:

  1. Take 2 minutes and watch this: Dinkytown Calculator Deployment Overview

  2. Hosted Solutions "set and forget" fully automated updates: Hosted solutions do not require you to download any files or place files on your server. Please contact support@dinkytown.net if you wish to change your deploymet to a hosted solution. It can provide a better site experience and makes it easier to maintain your calculator package. It allows you to have calculators that you "set and forget" - all updates are applied automatically as part of the service. No more downloads or installation of updates. One line of code allows you to embed the calculators into your site.

  3. For a NEW installation: Download the KJECalc.exe or KJECalc.zip to extract or unzip all files for your deployment. Make a directory on your website to put all files that were extracted.

  4. To UPDATE your installation: Download the KJEUpdate.exe or KJEUpdate.zip to extract or unzip all files to update your deployment. Copy all files into your existing deployment directory on your server, repacing any existing files with the same name. This will only replace files that you can’t customize.
