```
This is the epmstatic location specific to Smart View.
Depending on which version of Smart View your users are upgrading from, perform either Option A OR Option B.
- Option A (Upgrading from 11.1.2.1.x, 11.1.2.2.x, or 11.1.2.3.x)
  
  If your users are upgrading from an installed Smart View version of 11.1.2.1.x, 11.1.2.2.x, or 11.1.2.3.x, open the version.xml file in the epmstatic location specific to Smart View (see step 5), and edit the value in the installFile tag to point to the location of the Smart View executable file (step 5) as follows:
```
<installFile>
     /epmstatic/wspace/SmartView/SmartView.exe
</installFile>
```
- Option B (Upgrading from 11.1.2.5.000 or Later)
  
  If your users are upgrading from an installed Smart View version 11.1.2.5.000 or later, choose only one of the following options and perform the tasks described:
  - OTN Option
    
    Do not modify the version.xml file in the epmstatic location specific to Smart View (step 5).
    
    Your users will automatically be directed to the Smart View page on OTN, where they can download the installation zip file to their own machines, unzip the contents, and run the installer.
  - "epmstatic" Option
    
    Open the version.xml file in the epmstatic location specific to Smart View (see step 5) and edit the value in the installFile tag to point to the location of the Smart View executable file (step 5) as follows:
```
<installFile>
     /epmstatic/wspace/SmartView/SmartView.exe
</installFile>
```
  - Web App Server Option
    
    Post the SmartView.exe file to a web app server in your environment, and then modify the version.xml file to point to the fully-qualified URL.
    1. Copy only the SmartView.exe to the web app server where you will be hosting the file.
    2. Open the version.xml file in the epmstatic location specific to Smart View (see step 5), and edit the value in the installFile tag to point to the fully-qualified URL where you are hosting the Smart View executable file (see step a); for example:
      
      <installFile> http://webServerHost:webServerPort/pathToSmartViewExe/SmartView.exe </installFile>

Your Smart View users can now proceed with Client Installation.
