Build 250212

To check the version that is currently installed, you can either:

In Windows Settings, open Apps, then Installed Apps. Locate ContactsLaw Desktop Client and click Advanced options (via the ellipsis button). The version number is displayed under Specifications.
In the Desktop App, click File on the ribbon and then Account. The version and build numbers are displayed under Product Information.

Troubleshooting

The information in this section relates to a pre-release version of ContactsLaw and is not representative of the final product.

Version 2.0.91.0 - 2.0.95.0

There is a known issue where the update check (which occurs on startup) fails with an error message. This also prevents the app from starting. To resolve this issue, manually update the app in the Microsoft Store.

General

From time to time, we may release new versions of the app which require a clean installation. If you encounter errors, try removing the old version first (via Windows Settings, Apps, Installed Apps).
