Why the are not more definitive in their documentation we are all still guessing. What they should say is 4.2.0.0 is the base for all 4.2.x.x releases (or whatever appropriate) and 4.2.0.0 must be installed before any 4.2.x.x can be installed. Yes, you should be able to put on 4.2.2.13. The problem is a language barrier in general. I typically find that those of us that did not come from the mainframe world do not understand this lingo.

Is this going to be safe to install? Our server is at Storage Management Server for Windows - Version 4, Release 2, Level 2.2. The install documentation from the link states; Service Level This is a Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) installable package that will install as level 4.2.2.13. You must have the base level (4.2.0.0) installed. I consider us to have the base level of 4.2.0.0 but on the other hand we are actually past that at 4.2.2.2. Will upgrading have any negative impact, and if there is, is there a reverse procedure for the patch.
