Each user must manually start update process on the local computer.
To update the desktop application and help systems:
Place the documentation MSI installers (FP10Help_RU.msi, FP10Help_EN.msi) at the same level as the desktop application distribution file.
NOTE. The update is only available for previously installed help systems.
If required, specify additional settings, which are determined during the update.
