FMS v2.0 Upgrade Questions.

Please excuse the newbie - we are using FMS 2.0.  I need to patch the buffer overlfow vulnerabilities..  The doc that Abobe supplies with the patch/upgrade releases is confusing. The doc for the 2.0.1  recommends uninstalling 2.0 prior to the 2.0.1 installation. Upgrades 2.0.2 and up do not state this.. However, installing 2.0.5 specifically mentions patching v 2.0 vulerabilities, but does not mention uninstalling first OR that prior patches need be applied...And, finally version 2.0.2 - 2.0.5 do not mention is the patches are cumulative - are they?

Can anyone shed some light on this?   Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

John

    Patches are cumulative. If you install 2.0.5, you'll get all of the previous fixes.The updates are actually full versions of the software, not just patches. When you install the update, you're installing FMS all over again (you can actually do a new install with any of the updated versions)

    Before you install the update, back up your applications, config files, and anything else you've placed in the FMS installation directory. The configs and files shouldn't be overwritten by the installer, but it's a good idea to make backups just in case.

    Jay, Thank you for your reply. The release docs were not clear in this area, but I was suspicious.  Have a great day and thank you again.  I appreciate your time.

    Sincerely,

    John
