Latest EPS 2014 Pro Version 1.7.0.2
If you have EPS previously installed please manually remove it before beginning this new install. Some working files may not operate correctly with those files in place.
CAUTION: Added or corrected some data fields which may cause a breakage from older EPS data versions. We suggest you use this build only on new files as it may cause some files to corrupt.
