The normal ways of uninstalling previous versions of the package are:
- Do Start => Programs => LabJack => Uninstall.
- Go to Windows Control Panel (not LJControlPanel), then go to Add/Remove Programs, then find "LabJack" or "LabJackUD".
Here are the alternative manual steps:
- Go to Start => Programs, find the LabJack group, right-click on it, and delete from the start menu.
- On your hard drive delete the LabJack folder which is usually in "C:\Program Files\" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\"
- Find and delete labjackud.dll in your system directory (i.e. "C:\windows\system32\" or "C:\windows\SysWOW64\").

Instructions for upgrading U6 firmware are incomprehensible
Using a U6 on Windows 10 I successfully installed the Feb2016 beta version. LJControlPanel informs me that a firmware upgrade for the U6 is available. I exit that program and launch the LJAutoUpgrade program. When I run that the fun begins. I go to the download page, which appears to be a custom web browser interface, and it shows me three files. Which one do I need? Or perhaps all of them? I don't know. So I pick one (the hex option). Where did it put that file? I don't know. The AutoUpgrade program tells you that the file must be in a specific directory, but the download program didn't put the file there. In fact that directory does not exist. Could you please find a way to make this simple process more difficult?
There is no custom web
There is no custom web browser interface in LJSelfUpgrade. The link opens the default web browser on your computer and goes to the firmware section of our site. On this page, there are links to the firmware pages for specific LabJacks. On the U6 Firmware page, there is currently only one firmware file, U6firmware_143_04222015.hex, and underneath that are links to beta and old firmware pages. Perhaps you are confusing the beta and old firmware links as files.
Download the firmware file, which for the U6 is a .hex file, to somewhere on your computer. Where this file downloads is based on your web browser's settings but likely its in your user's Downloads folder. In most browsers you can right-mouse click the file link, and select "Save Link As" to specify the location. In LJSelfUpgrade click the browse button, browse to the hex file on your computer and select it. Then press the program button.
I will agree the "Download any desired upgrades and save them in the \LJSelfUpgrade\upgradefiles\ folder" is outdated and confusing as we no longer create that folder. It should say something like "Download the upgrade file and save it to a folder on your computer. Click Browse, navigate to the file and select it. To download the latest firmware upgrade file ...". I'll look into having this text updated in LJSelfUpgrade.
Thanks for your input on the firmware upgrade process, and let us know if you need further assistance.

Also, there is a LJSelfUpgrade page for the U6, and it looks like it needs some updating regarding the "\LabJack\LJSelfUpgrade\upgradefiles\" folder.:
