Hi Pete, 1. Upgrading Command: I suspect the REBOL/Command uses an umodified /Core upgrade function (bug!). That upgrade function (because its unmodified) does the same thing it would do if it was evaluated under /Core. It downloads the latest /Core archive. Keep in mind that /Command is an experimental version. To upgrade it go to http://www.rebol.com/xpers/xpers.html and download the latest version. 2. Upgrading /Core: Which /Core version are you currently using? Does there exist a newer stable version, or are you trying to upgrade from/to an experimental version? If that is the case use the above url as well. 3. View: When /View is installed it attempts to write a copy of the /View executable to the target directory. If that target directory is identical to the directory from which you launched /View, then /View will not be able to overwrite itself (MS Windows stops it from doing that). You must unpack /View to a different (for instance temp) directory, and install it from there. If launched from a different directory /View will successfully overwrite the old version of /View it finds in the target directory. (I had a similar problem on my Win95 machine and solved it by unpacking /View to a different directory). Hope this helps.

A zipfile called "rebol031.zip" is written into \Command. I open and extract. Command is over-written by Core. Luckily, I still have the the original installer "command031.zip". > >I install Core, and "upgrade". I get a message that I'm using an unknown version of Rebol. > >I install View, switch to console, and "upgrade". An exe is written into \View. I run it, expecting View to open, but find that it is an installer. I change the Install path to /e/program files/_rebol/view, click "Install", and get a message that /e/program files/_rebol/view/rebol.exe cannot be overwritten. > > >HUH?
