    Hello,

    New to using Muster. Thanks for developing such a great tool. Grabbed your updates from the site, wanted to know if you could help clarify the proper updating procedure.

    1) Do I have to install one update and then the other (6.01, then 6.02)?
    2) Must I uninstall the program before running the setup for the most recent version? Or can I simply run the installer and it will effectively “patch” the older installation to the most current version?

    Sorry, it may seem obvious, though I checked the documentation and I couldn’t find information about updating procedure anywhere. Just wanted to get it right before I do it on ~30 machines.

    Thanks in advance.

    On the renderclients, you can just uninstall and install over the newer version, you’ll be prompted for the IP addresses and other configuration details during the new setup phase.
    On the dispatcher, it’s always good to backup the databases and config files (muster.db / muster_history.db / dispatcher.conf) . The database files are left untouched during the installation, but.. who knows ? :D
