## Who needs this?
Every Farming Simulator 17 enthusiast should have a look at the famous mod [Courseplay](https://github.com/Courseplay/courseplay). If you are using Courseplay and want to be sure to always use the latest version, you should update your installation before playing, as there are frequent updates. This can be a quite complicated process if you want to be sure to have a backup of former versions.

## How to restore an older version?
With every Courseplay update *cpupdate* creates a zipped backup file of your former version. You can find it under your *cpupdate* directory (see step 2. above) in the folder `cpbackup`. Just extract the content to `<your Farming Simulator mod folder>\ZZZ_Courseplay\`. `<your Farming Simulator mod folder>` is usually under your Documents folder - `my games` - `FarmingSimulator2017` - `mods`.

## How get rid of it?
Just delete the directory you extracted the installer to (see step 2. above). Attention! You will loose your backup files, too.

## Expert usage
If you have installed Git and 7-Zip on your computer, you can download only the script file `cpupdate_portable.bat`, open it in an editor and set the path to Git and 7-Zip suiting your needs (Lines 19 - 20)
