<<<It's a safety feature that keeps you from replacing a more recent version of a file with an older out of date one. Hopefully, the newer version is "new and improved.">>> I assumed the point was just that; but wasn't the message telling me that I already had on my system the new and improved one? That's what surprised me. It said <<"Copying file has an earlier version than existing on your computer. It is recommended to keep an existing file.">> I thought that meant that the one they were about to replace it with was not the new and improved one, but "an earlier version," -- so I should keep the file "existing" on my computer. So do you think i was saying yes to keeping what was on my computer already, or to the replacement? It got installed even though I said yes to every question, so that implies the latter, doesn't it? It's puzzling to me.
