IF you install a full install of an application over top of an older
version of the same application. is a sure method for a corrupt install.
They proper method for downloading a complete install and installing, is
to move the old version to trash (but do not empty Trash) then install
the new.
What that does is write the new to a different section of the hard Drive
(as if your installing for first time.)
The install from the update withing the application s get new version is
different is that it only replaces that code that adds the new features.
Copying over writes the whole entire file over top the whole entire
file. If there is defective code it just writes over it, and there is a
possibility of corrupting the new install.
Note the above is based for Macintosh. If you have a PC/Unix/Linux
machine YMMV.
