  • How do I install 'Dorchester' before 'Everett' update?

My plan was to update 1 mo. behind each release in order to avoid possible bugs in the program.
As of now I'm still using the Cambridge update. Now that Everett has been released, I see no way to just
update to the Dorchester level. Others on the forum had mentioned doing this, and although I searched I came up dry.
 
Is there a way to get to the Dorchester release w/o going all the way up to the newest Everett release?
 
Or.....just bit the bullet and go for Everett release now?

Yes, just install from the files you downloaded manually and stored away in separate folders for each release . . . Ooohhhh . . . you didn't do that ? 
 
I would just go straight for Everett, latest and greatest and all that . . .

I believe I understand the thought process for the staying one release behind but these updates are relatively small and so frequent I am not sure it makes much sense. It would be a manual process or possibly applying the current release and rollback. Which begs the question, if rollback is so easy (and it is) why not stay current and rollback if you encounter a showstopper?

In this case though, wouldn't he need the "D" stuff to roll back to "D", which is what he doesn't have

C3 is supposed to fetch installers which are not cached. I have not tested it because I stay current. I have tested rollback several times though.

Same here. Rollback is simple and reliable, although I've never needed to do it permanently, only for testing.
 
Users shouldn't be scared by the people who come on to forums with problems immediately after an update. A lot of times it's pilot error from not fully understanding a function, or not doing something like a reset. In the rare case where a bug is introduced (e.g., fixing one control bar issue forced the user-definable buttons to the right no matter where you tried to put them), you can roll back. In my case, I kept the buttons to the right anyway, so I didn't care.
 
I would recommend downloading updates when they appear and trying them out, because so far no one has reported rollback problems.

OK, so what do I do exactly.
 
I am in the same boat for the same reason as the OP.
 
How do I rollback or whatever to get the full Dorchester, then the full Everett.
 
I really want these...and hey, I paid for it, as a paid in full for a year SPlat owner/user.
 
I will now update immediately from now on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you download Everett, you'll get everything that came before, no extra step needed.
 
Just go into the Command Center, click on the SONAR button, and install. Then do anything else that needs updating.

So...I clicked on the yellow Sonar button to update and it said, in the description, "Cambridge" and now it is downloading.
 
UP4 Setup 21.4.0.27...is what is says as it is downloading.
 
I can't believe I did not have any updates since the original install.
 
I always selected anything other than green and updated, but totally missed this one.
 
What a dunce I am. LOL
