Yes, as you know, the update process downloads about 11 or 12 files and you should see around this number of progress bars appear one after another. > The source of the problem is not inexperience; have been using Rev for > years now.

OK, something else has to be afoot here. You obviously updated to dp-3 using the update process, as a dp is not separately downloadable, as far as I know. So, what's different between this time and the time you did it before? Did Vista go to SP2 in the meanwhile? Did the UAC change? Have you tried running Rev as administrator by right clicking on it and choosing run as administrator, before attempting the upgrade? Better yet, can you log in as THE Administrator and run the upgrade process from this account as opposed to a user with admin privileges? That it is happening on XP also is a bit puzzling because XP is much more tolerant of UAC issues. I wonder... has your subscription run out and maybe the bug is that Rev is not notifying you of this? Obviously you are dealing with something that happened over a short time here.

Thanks Jim but, as I wrote, your suggestion is not new. Tried it -- repeatedly! -- and I assure you there is no dp4 folder within my RevEnterprise folder. Nor anywhere else on my hard-drive. And have also tried several other suggested solutions. License validation; managing versions (I have 2.6, 2.9, 3.5, 4.0dp4); restarting the computer; etc. Both on XP and Vista.

The source of the problem is not inexperience; have been using Rev for years now. The problem is Rev dp3 and 3.5 state an update is available, that update is accepted by me clicking on a series of buttons, and yet, after restarting Rev, it is not dp4 but dp3 (or 3.5 using "Manage versions") that starts up -- of course, since nothing was downloaded -- and still telling me that the dp4 update is available. Oh well.

RE: What is the current version of Rev?
Nicolas and Len, Please run check for updates. Does it say there is one available? If so, accept the update and follow prompts until "Finished" Now exit and launch Revolution again. Check for updates again. This time it should say you are up to date. What you need to understand, at this point, is that just because you have downloaded the latest version of Rev, you are not prevented from running previous versions of Rev. There is an exception to this in that dp and rc versions of Rev normally time-out. However, this time-out convention has been disabled for the current 4.0 releases. This means you can still run dp-3. Or, you can run dp-4. So now you need to look at where you are running the Revolution IDE program from. Look at where your Revolution IDE programs are located on your hard drive. There should be a directory like Revolution Enterprise (if you run revEnterprise). Under this directory should be (at least) two other directories. 4.0.0-dp-3 and 4.0.0-dp-4. If you launch the revolution IDE from the 4.0.0-dp-4 directory, then you are running dp-4. Now, if you normally launch Rev by clicking on a .rev file, you may need to change your file associations so that a .rev file is associated with dp-4 instead of dp-3. The update program usually gives you an option to change your file associations to the latest version of rev. However it defaults to No (which it should). So, you may need to do this manually if you want to launch dp-4 when clicking on a .rev stack. Hope this helps.

Re: What is the current version of Rev?
Don't have an answer, I'm afraid. Update to dp4 is also not working on my WinXP machine. So, I started this same discussion on the "improve rev" list. Several suggestions were offered -- check the Rev folder for a new folder "dp4", initiate the update not from dp3 but from a previous version (3.5). But all gave the same result: after "Check for updates", entering the license key and restarting, dp3 persists -- and I doubt anything was downloaded, because Rev restarted immediately. Perhps someone from Rev is listening in and can point us to a direct url for downloading dp4? -- Nicolas Cueto ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I just got it through "Check for updates" but I already had dp-3.

What is the current version of Rev?
I downloaded the latest version of revEnterprise which is supposed to be dp4. However the "about Rev" page shows "Build 900 dp-3." Is this the latest version and just mismarked on the about page or did "Check For Updates" get the wrong file?
