It is a two step thing.  If your version doesn't do the update from within
Writelog, click File and then Webupdate.  After you update you will have to
run the convert program from Start-ProgramFiles-Writelog Convert wl_cty.

Doubt you can manually find the place the files need to go which is
completely changed under later versions.  The files are generally in
ALLUsers/applicationData/Writelog.

The automatic program still I believe requires you to run the convert
program.

I would suggest upgrading to the current version as it handles things.
