Actually, Ruth Ann was mistaken. She thought the upgrade hadn't work because she ended up with Entourage 10.1.1, not 10.1.2. But that in fact is the version of Entourage (an Word) which 10.1.2 updater installs - she had begun with 10.1.0 before updating. (the only thing updated between the short-lived 10.1.1 updater and the 10.1.2 update which was released about a week later was the updater itself: 10.1.1 could update only 10.1.0 - otherwise known as the "first" incarnation of SR-1 - whereas 10.1.2 is a combo updater that can update all previous versions including the original 10.0.0. This crazy numbering scheme has caused endless confusion: they should have called all the apps 10.1.2 even though nothing got changed. I noticed that 10.1.4 and 10.1.5 do this (although the apps probably have changed), so sanity should now reign and confusion be banished.
Your experience was evidently something very different. Bill. Yes, Notifications should be off before you attempt an update. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/toc.html PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise. > From: Bill Cheeseman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 05:11:26 -0400 > To: Entourage-Talk Mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Ruth Ann McClain > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: office update, again > > on 03-09-09 11:11 PM, Ruth Ann McClain at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> I wrote lastly that I have tried installing 10.1.2 today, and it won't >> "take".
