Thank you for the reply. Yes, I am trying to update slimserver on an
installation that is already working (6.5.1).

I have read the documentation many times before and the distinction you
make was not clear to me. I will now search the documentation to see
where it describes uninstalling slimserver without uninstalling SSODS
as you recommend. When I find what I think you are referring to, I will
report back to the thread.

Perhaps if the documentation included a subsection on upgrading
slimserver only, or some other advice in this direction, it would be
clearer. It has a tendency to be centred around the first installation
rather than updates. Because the interface is so familiar to you it is
perhaps difficult for you to imagine the experience of people who are
new to this, or who do not manipulate SSODS/slimserver regularly
because it usually works so beautifully. Plus of course there is a
psychological reluctance to uninstall something that is at least
working, because one is worried that one might not be able to get the
update working.
