NOTE:Installing the patch does NOT modify your templates! The new files are installed in subdirectories of the patches/is41p2 directory in your server's home directory. Please copy them to the same location in your server's wavemaster directory.

An automatic update is not done, because it might damage the current template configuration, if the templates have been changed.
