Scrappy_Bogart Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Hello all, I am attempting to download a previous update: VW 2024 Update 2. I want this particular version because it was the last update I had where Vectorworks ran smoothly before I updated to Update 4. Update 4 is beyond slow and the software application even crashes when rendering. My hardware is good and I have updated all drivers. At this point I would just prefer to get back to Update 2 so that I can get work done. Does anyone know how to install a particular update version? I see that I can download VW latest '23 version, but I don't specifically see where Update versions can be downloaded. 1 Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 See the following post for instructions on downloading an older SP. The instructions are for Vw2023 but they are the same for Vw2024. Quote Link to comment
Scrappy_Bogart Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 rDesign, thanks for your response, can you clarify one thing for me? I can't seem to find the Vectorworks Updater Software Application. In your post you are saying that you can "...use the Vectorworks Updater application in your Vw 2023 application folder" but I am having difficulty locating this folder. Is it meant to be the same folder that was used to install vectorworks, or is it simply the vectorworks installer? Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I am on MacOS, so I do not know where it is on Windows — but by Application folder I mean the Vw application itself, not an installer that you downloaded, and it should not be in your Downloads folder. It also depends on what version of Windows you are running — a google search for “where are the applications folders in windows 11” or whatever Windows version you are using should help you find the Application folder. Perhaps one of the other Windows Users can offer you further, more precise assistance. Also take a look at the Vw Help File page on updating Vw: Vw2024 User Guide — Updating Vectorworks Products Quote Link to comment

But on Windows it is in a VW Updater Sub Folder. When I read about a new VW SP, ahm "Update", I directly start the VW Updater App(s). I don't even bother to open VW itself - which has to get closed for updating anyway. Quote Link to comment

I wonder how it got out of the virtual door? 1 Quote Link to comment
