I finally got a reply from MakeMusic tech support, and the case is that
the original 2006b updater contained an incorrect file, so there was a
NEW 2006b updater posted, and that is why my computer didn't think that
even though I have 2006b it isn't the most recent 2006b.
If that isn't total confusion, then I don't know what is! Shouldn't the
"new" 2006b have been posted as 2006c so that everybody could be sure
they have the most recent?
I dunno . . .

You should certainly tell tech support about this. Are you on Windows or
Mac? I just tried checking for an update with Mac 2000b and was told
that I have the current version, so at least on my system the feature
seems to be working.

I just ran Fin2006b and had it check for updates. It told me that
there was an update available at the MakeMusic web-site, so I clicked
on the option to get the new update (figuring of course that it must
be Fin2006C -- but don't get excited, there is no new update!) It
took me to the page which showed the 2006B update!
Why doesn't Finale2006b know that I already have it? Did MakeMusic
simply hard-code into this great new feature that it is Finale2006 and
that it should check to see if there is anything more recent than
Finale2006, so everytime I check for automatic updates it's simply
going to waste my time by telling me that 2006b is available? Why
didn't MakeMusic code into this routine the ability to check and see
which actual version is actually running, and then compare it against
the update patches? Is it me being hyper-picky, or shouldn't
Finale2006b only tell me there's a new update available when
Finale2006c comes out?
It seems like it's another great idea not properly implemented.
