Is there a LO helppack for 4.2.6-secfix, or can I retain the last one I
loaded, ver. 4.2.1? My current version of LO is 4.2.5.2, running on win7.
Thanks - edo1

Thanks to Luuk and Foote for the pointers, I've got everything I need now
to update. Should I update from ver 4.2.5 to ver 4.2.6.3 first, or can I
update directly to the secfix? I'm inclined to do it stepwise, but am just
curious to know if omitting 4.2.6.3 would work.

Hi :slight_smile:
You can go directly to the secfix or any other version you like.

It's not a normal update as such. It's a full reinstall. So, you can go
from any version to any other version without needing to worry about what
happened in the middle.

All your settings and configs are all stored inside your "User Profile"
which the reinstall doesn't touch.

It is a good idea to make a copy of your User Profile every so often but
the normal 'update' wont affect it. You can get an idea by quickly
skimming through the intro on this wiki;

@edo1, *,

No need to incrementally install. The 4.2.6.3 build is a full installer that contains the security fix. The installable Help was built for it at the same time on August 28th.
