Installation/Uninstallation
eFiler is provided in both a 32-bit and 64-bit installation file (Microsoft Installer or .msi file).

To update eFiler, simply download the latest version and run the installer to upgrade your existing installation. The trial version and licensed version of eFiler are both installed from the same installer.
To uninstall eFiler please re-run the installer and select the option to remove eFiler. You can also remove eFiler from Control Panel, Programs and Features.
