By default, installing a new version of a PowerPack will overwrite all content in that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system.

  4. Click Browse and navigate to the PowerPack file from step 1.

  5. Select the PowerPack file and click Import. The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
