9.6.4 check for updates - why doesn't it prompt to grab 9.6.8?

Post by rodneyt »

Hi everyone,

I'm running LC 9.6.4, when I run check for updates it reports no updates available but in the announcements I see "Release LiveCode 9.6.8" is stable - so why doesn't the updater prompt to grab it?

How about downloading this:

https://community.livecode.com/9_6_3/

and seeing if it offers you an update?

If it does it means there's a problem with 9.6.4.

If it doesn't, it means there's a problem with your computer system.
