alicez Posted August 27, 2008 I installed SAS ver 4.15 a week or so ago (on my WinXPsp3) and now I notice there is a newer version 'out' = ver 4.20. #1- Is that true (not Beta)? #2- If it is available, will it over-write the ver 4.15 I now have? #3- Or will upgrade be made when I click on the update button in my ver 4.15? #4- Will this 4.20 version work with my Vista which has Defender; AVG8 and SpywareBlaster? Thank you. Alice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seth Posted August 27, 2008 1) Yes. 2 and 3) The update when will be done through automatic updates, or by clicking on the update option. 4) Yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alicez Posted August 27, 2008 Re my #2- If it is available, will it over-write the ver 4.15 I now have? #3- Or will upgrade be made when I click on the update button in my ver 4.15? In #2, what I meant was - will the new version 4.2 over-write the version I now have 1.5? Or do I have to uninstall my present version (using the Add/Remove in Control Panel) on my WinXP PCs? What I meant in #3 was, when the ver 4.2 is availabe for download, will it be included in my downloadws when I click on the Update Now buttom? Or do I have to download it myself from a dwonload site?

Seth Posted August 27, 2008 No, you don't have to uninstall. A SAS message will appear informing you that a product update is available. Or, manually click on update to get it immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alicez Posted August 27, 2008 I doupdates manually. I clicked on the "Check for Updates" and download was completed. I still see that I have Version 4.15.1000. Core 3549 and Trace 1537 The new Version 4.2 did not download. That is why I have asked if I have to download it myself from a download site. And that I have to uninstall the version I have now before I try to install the 4.2? Maybe I am wording my questions incorrectly? I see on the SAS webpage: "Important : You MUST uninstall any previous version before installing this version." I also checked "Check for program updates" on my notebook, and when I restart SAS I see a pop-up in lower part of screen. I click on Update Now, and get message: "You must stop the scan and close the main screen before updating." I am not doing a scan and when I close the SAS, the pop-up goes away. This is all so very confusing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
