aaronblack@earthlink.net Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 I am trying to update vectorworks 8.0.01 to 8.5.1 but the updater I downloaded from the internet which is labeled 8.0.1 to 8.5.1 does not see the original version installed on my computer. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to comment
Pismomatt Posted September 20, 2000 Share Posted September 20, 2000 The way I understand it, you need to first purchase an upgrade to 8.1. The 8.5 upgrade is look for version 8.1 not 8.01. Quote Link to comment

The 8.5 upgrade is look for version 8.1 not 8.01. That's incorrect; there is no VectorWorks version called "8.1". Moreover, the updater does indeed update version 8.0.1 to 8.5.1. Aaronblack, I believe the updater actually updates the 8.0.1 *installer*, not the application itself. The README file that comes with the updater should explain everything. Essentially, you'll copy the installer from your 8.0.1 CD to your hard disk, run the updater, and then run the resulting 8.5 installer.
