+It is highly recommended that you install Dr. Bytes "Backup MYSQL Plugin" before installing 
+and using EasyPopulate 4.0 Beta (EP4). It has been updated to work with Zencart 1.5 
 and can be downloaded from here:
 
 http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=81

 versions of easypopulate. Names 1.2.5.4 (and flavors) and EP Advance 3.0.3.

+
+1) From the configuration->Easy Populate menu, document all of the settings so 
+   that they may be re-entered after installation.
+2) From the tools->Easy Populate 4 menu, uninstall EP4 through the link in the 
+   upper right corner.
+3) Load the files from the attached zip file into their standard location as is 
+   done through the below EP4 installation instruction.
+4) Refresh the Tools->EP4 window.
+5) Select the install option in the middle of the Tools->EP4 window.
+6) Return to the configuration->Easy Populate window and re-enter the settings 
+   captured in step 1.  Also review the new options made available to support 
+   use of the rewriter.

    setting permissions to writable, but you can usually do this through your site's CPANEL, or via a FTP program.
