I'm trying to update my Seamonkey 2.49.5 installations on Win10 and Win7
computers.
The installations seem to work fine; but then a couple hours later, I
see that SM has regressed to version 2.49.5. This has happened twice
each on two different Win10 computers. I've looked at the various
warnings about this update but can't find any that would explain this
behavior.
What might I be missing???
I'm not aware of specific issues, but I know that when I upgraded to
2.53.1, I uninstalled 2.49.5 first (as well as backing up my profiles by
copying the contents of %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey to another location).
I'm wondering if there's a possibility of you having problems with 32
and 64 bit versions. If your 2.49.5 is 32 bit and you're running a 64
bit installer for 2.53.3, I'm pretty sure the release notes instruct you
to uninstall the 32 bit version first. In Windows, 32 bit files are
normally put in c:\program files (x86) and 64 bit files are normally put
in c:\program files.
Technically, it is possible to install multiple versions of Seamonkey
side by side (as long as you don't run them simultaneously), and I have
done this on a virtual machine.
My suspicion is that you may have two versions installed, and where the
shortcut you're using for launching Seamonkey points to the installation
of 2.49.5.
If you want to dig further, two things to look at:
1) Right-click on a Seamonkey icon, look at the Properties and go to the
Shortcut tab, and in the Target line, note the name/location of what
binary file is being opened.
2) Use the Explorer to check your Program Files and Program Files (x86)
folders. Check to see which (or both) have Seamonkey folders. Check the
properties (Details tab) of any Seamonkey.exe files to verify version
numbers.
If you're seeing any indication of Seamonkey installed in multiple
locations, I suggest making sure you uninstall all copies of Seamonkey
(and Windows will probably also report two versions active), and then
install a new copy.
