I really can't trust CCC to do what I want it to do (installing Rapture Session this morning confirmed my unease) so I've been downloading everything manually.  I also found out that CCC won't see an installer if it's already sitting right there in front of it.  It just starts a new download.
 
Luckily, CCC is notified that something has been installed outside its control, so products show green lights.

Sorry to hear that Paul.  I too, have never gotten the CCC to do exactly what I think it should.  And of course, I only uses it once a month, (or less), so I don't remember what I did last time.  I need to take more notes.....

- downloaded the Kingston update 1 to a temp folder.
- copied the installer to the CCC download folder.
- started CCC and it told me there was an update available.
- clicked update and CCC used the local file i had copied to the CCC folder.
It did not download the update.
I don't know if Cake fixed CCC or this worked because I already had SPlat installed.
At least I can confirm that updates can be manually downloaded and installed via CCC.

I don't understand. If I download a file manually and place it in the Downloads folder as defined in CCC options then if I ask CCC to install that file, it will use the file in the download folder and not download it again. Perhaps you need to sign out and back in again to correct information in CCCs cache.

Yes and I confirmed what you just posted.
Earlier in the thread, we were questioning if indeed it would the local file.

This may be the case.  CCC failed to see the Rapture Session installer in its dowload folder the last time I tried, but I don't remember if I had CCC running or not while I moved the installer into that folder.  I somehow doubt it since I usually close CCC each time I'm done with it.  That said, I just tried with both R Session (which I had installed then uninstalled) and Rapture (both of which I had manually downloaded from my account) and in both cases CCC did not download again before running the  installer.

In the CCC, check that under the settings page > paths, the Download path is where the downloads actually are located

I checked last night and it appears that the download path had been changed back to the default, (C: drive) vs where I had it set, (F: drive).  I don't know how this happened but it might explain this particular issue.  I changed it back and will watch on future updates.
