Bug: Unconfirmed Upgrading to currently released version - Page 2

Yeah, I guess any future updates to V 3 will include the installer and mess up my system a little, again. Although, it does appear that if I uninstall everything, and then install the update, it will still work with the Nova Serial Code, so, while extra work, it is workable.

JohnWho - the Betas which I produce are just the .scr file. They are made available to the Beta Test team here on the Forum, and when one is finally stable enough, it is sent over to Prolific to put a wrapper on it (installer), and make it available to the general public. It doesn't matter whether an installer has been used before. You can just grab the .scr file, double-click it and it will run.

Thanks Jim.

Can't wait for the next update to test this.

It will be a while.

I used to like The Burns & Allen Show.... (Thinks, - now what reminded me of that?)

...... Say good-night, Gracie!
