If you are upgrading from a prior version of MT-Approval, you should be absolutely sure to remove all prior versions. This is especially the case with v2, because changes to Movable Type mean that some pieces of MT-Approval have changed location as well. Here is a brief list of things to look for. If you find them, remove them, just to make sure that they won't cause any problems down the road. Once they are gone, put the new distribution into place.

Remove any of these files and directories if you find them:

MT_HOME/Approval.pl
MT_HOME/mt-approval.cgi
MT_HOME/mt-approval.txt
MT_HOME/extlib/jayseae/approval.pm
MT_HOME/tmpl/cms/approval.tmpl

These are leftovers from places that the plugin used to be installed. To insure that you get a clean installation, you should also completely remove the entire Approval directory, and simply re-upload it. This way you will be sure that all the files are being replaced with the new versions. Since just about every piece of the plugin was updated in this release to address the new release of Movable Type, this is highly suggested. Otherwise you might end up with pieces that are not updated.

That's it. Really. Everything else will take care of itself - just as long as you have the correct pieces in the correct place, you're good to go.

Now it's time for configuration.
