To install Olifant:

If you do not have Microsoft .NET Framework runtime files installed, the installation will be interrupted and you will be prompted to install the framework. Once the framework is installed you can re-run Olifant's installer.

If you have a previous version of Olifant installed -- you must un-install it first.

In some cases you can also directly re-run the installer: if the application is already installed and if the version is similar, it will ask you if you want to remove it or repair it. Simply select the removal option.
