Beta Test Page
The following beta-test versions are currently available:
- VEDIT Pro64 version 6.13.1. Details.
Eligibility:
Everyone is welcome to download and install a beta-test as a trial version. When installed as a trial version, it will expire after 30 days. You must then purchase the product or un-install it.
Only customers that have purchased VEDIT Deluxe or the Software Subscription Plan (SSP), and whose support period is still active, can run a beta-test as the full product.
NOTE: We do not recommend installing a beta-test if you have an older version of VEDIT and don't plan to update. Uninstalling the beta-test will likely uninstall your older version of VEDIT too.

Give us feedback on possible changes
We are considering the following last-minute changes to VEDIT.
Please send your comments to support@vedit.com.
- None - No last minute changes are planned.
Instructions for .EXE files
- Download the desired .EXE file into a temporary directory such as c:\temp; do not download it into a directory already containing VEDIT.
- Run the .EXE file (e.g. by double-clicking on it). (They are self-extracting "zip" files.)
- Running the VPA-xxxx.EXE file immediately starts the installation. You can install or update the Windows version. Running the V64-xxxx.EXE file immediately starts the installation. It will install both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of VEDIT for Windows. Note: if you did not explicitly purchase VEDIT Pro64, the 64-bit version will only run as a trial version. Running the VPW-xxxx.EXE file immediately starts the installation. You can install or update only the Windows version. Select the [Quick] installation option. This will install the new version with the fewest questions. It will transfer the configuration and keyboard layout from the previous version to the new version.
- After installation, run VEDIT, select {HELP, Topics} and go to the "What's New" topic. This summarizes the new features and has links to their full description.
Instructions for .ZIP files
- After downloading a .ZIP file, you must unzip it with
WinZip,
Pkunzip,
or a similar program.
- With WinZip, open the ".ZIP" file and select the "Install" function or icon. This extracts the files into a temporary directory and runs the "setup" program to start the installation. (The temporary files are then automatically deleted after the installation is done.)
- With Pkunzip for Windows, open the ".ZIP" file and first extract the file into a temporary directory such as "c:\temp". Next, run the "setup" program to start the installation.
- Note: just double-clicking the "setup.exe" file in the Pkunzip window before extracting the files does not work. In our opinion, Pkunzip for Windows is more difficult to use than WinZip.
- Run the "setup" program to install the Windows version.
- Continue with step 3 above for .EXE files.
Notes:
If you repeatedly have trouble downloading these files, it may be due to common Internet congestion or a firewall at your company's Internet connection. Please try the following:
- In case of a firewall, try downloading using another Internet connection.
- If you cannot download desired .EXE file, try the corresponding .ZIP file; some firewalls don't allow downloading .EXE files.
- As a last resort, we can e-mail you the file(s).
