Step 1 - Verify Installation Requirements
In order to upgrade the GUIStyle product, the following requirements must be met:

Step 2 - Upgrade the GUIStyle Product iSeries 400 Software
Contact ADVANCED BusinessLink in order to find out how to download the newest GUIStyle version.

In the standard procedure, you will download a file named guiVRM.gz or guiVRM, where VRM is the version, release number, and modification. If the zip is downloaded, you must extract guiVRM from it, which can be done on your PC with WinZip or another zip extraction application. You will then need to move the save file contents into a save file named GUIADMIN on your iSeries 400 in a library of your choice. There are a variety of methods for moving save files from your PC to the iSeries 400. The technical support bulletin titled iSeries 400 - PC Save File Transfer Using FTP explains one method.

Once the installation save file is on your iSeries 400 in a library of your choosing, and named GUIADMIN, following these steps will upgrade the GUIStyle server, applet, and administrative pieces.
