1) Close any applications which may interfere with installation, including Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) and previous versions of Olympus.
2) If you DO NOT have Olympus already installed, SKIP THIS STEP. If you have already installed Olympus, do the following:
NOTE: If you made any changes to your unit databases or mods.lua file (e.g. to support a third party mod) make a backup of the edited files before proceeding or changes will be lost;
a) If you installed DCS Olympus v1.0.3 using the installer, simply remove it using Windows's "Add or remove programs" application.
b) If you installed DCS Olympus v1.0.3 using the archived version, remove it by deleting the "...<DCS Saved Games folder>\Mods\Services\Olympus" folder. Do this for every DCS instance you installed Olympus in.
Remember to delete any shortcuts you created. Don't worry, they will be created automatically again by the installation script provided in this package.
