Go easy on the Updates!

[Strela]

Alpha Two - from my experience with these new updates and from questions already asked and answered in here, I can say that the WDS updates that are sent to you by mail do a completely fresh install that doesn't affect your old JTS install at all. So it's not really an update to anything you already have installed, in that sense - it's a new install, from scratch. Just pick a different folder location, perhaps, for the new installs. Then you'll have the new versions (version 4) and all your old ones, and you can do what you like with all your old ones afterwards. I just deleted all mine once the WDS version 4 updates were done.

The updates available on the new WDS site, however, seem to be actual updates that you must install over your old JTS title in the usual way. If you want to keep your old title for whatever reason you can first  simply copy it, in its entirety, to a different folder, then install the WDS update from the site over the copied version.

Phoenix has it completely right.

Our (big) preference is that you all do new installations of the WDS installers. That will make everyone's life easier in the future as further updates come out. To be honest it wasn't planned, but the fact that you can leave the prior JTS installation in place and have the new WDS installation in tandem gives the most flexibility and time to decide which version is preferred for play.

Applying the updates will leave you in your previous directories and will require you to change the default directories that will be in future patches.

Hope that helps, but reinforcing what was described here.
