Installing .8,67

BeccaPrice · 09-01-2012, 10:46 AM

When I went to update my instance of calibre to 8.67, I got an interesting screen, asking me whether I wanted to change something, repair the database, or remove calibre.

I didn't want to do any of those things, so I selected "change" and simply didn't change anything.

Now I'm not sure whether this was the right move or not. Calibre looks ok, and it upgraded to 8.67, but it didn't take anywhere near as long as the standard calibre upgrade installation takes.

did I do right? the new installation screen is confusing. Could there just be a button that says simply "upgrade" or "install"?

That is a standard screen in Windows installer if iyou are ruinning the setup for a version of software it thinks is already installed. Quite why you got it in your casae I am not sure.

ok, that's nice to know. thanks!

what that tells me is that, in addition to downloading the upgrade for me last night, my husband actually ran it and did the installation for me. Which is sweet of him, and now I've learned something else about installing calibre too.
