ToyBase 6.4 is quite old now and requires:
- the defunct Borland Database Engine
- to be installed from your original CD
- Administrator rights on newer versions of Windows
ToyBase 7 is a much smaller program which can be downloaded from the Internet. You can upgrade v6.4 to v7 by downloading the latest version from our website. Just save the downloaded file onto your desktop - it will be called something like toybase70xx.msi
Double-click the file and ToyBase 7 will be installed onto your PC. If there are any warnings after the import please copy and paste the log (Help menu... view log) in to an email and send it to me. You can also find some help online at the ToyBase blog:

The install will create a shortcut to the software on your desktop. This will run ToyBase normally
and should be used day-to-day. There is a second shortcut in the Programs menu that will start ToyBase and
automatically import your data, pictures, license and settings from
v6. The shortcut is called "Import data from Toybase v6". It can be found in the Start menu:
Please have a look around and make sure all of your data is copied over.
Notice the backup option has changed now - ToyBase makes a backup for
you every morning but expects you to copy them off the computer for
safe keeping!
