Yesterday I purchased 2 x Update Licenses and 1 x Advanced Edition copy of RB.
I added the Advanced Edition copy license into Win 7 - Ultimate. The version of RB already there was 5.8.5.2.
That worked, it now became Advanced Edition 5.8.5.2.
In the top right I clicked on "A newer version is available"
We went thru the motions of downloading it, and rebooting RB. All appeared normal on this operation, but I notice what didn't happen, it did not go thru the motions of loading new files in (as it did with Win 7 - Pro that I did later on on another computer).
It remained stuck on Ver 5.8.5.2. after the update with no change at all having happened.
So then I decided to download 6.0.4.0, the full downloaded install and lets see what happens doing it that way.
It didn't go very far at all. Was worse in fact. The first screen came up, but more or less blank with no readable words in it, locked up (frozen) and I had to use Task Manager to disable the install.
So then I tried Ver 5.9.2.0. installing that version over 5.8.5.2.
That worked successfully.
Another attempt was made to install 6.0.4.0 over 5.9.2.0
Same problem, first screen came up blank as before.
So I am not able to install Ver 6 on Ultimate. Ver 5 has no problems, just Ver 6.
Now I have successfully installed 6.0.4.0 on another computer (using Advanced Edition) but this computer had Win 7 -Pro on it.
So the problem seems to lie with Win 7 - Ultimate for some reason.
