New Version of R&R

New version with NO information on what was updated. Is this possible, or am I missing something? :roll:

I already updated it. No problems at all and no need to uninstall the previous version (2.0 0170). No new features on the first sight, probably just bugfixing. Though, a Changelog wouldn't hurt...

Just take care if you have Safeguard Easy installed. When it says "finished" don't click the button (because it would make your computer reboot). Instead you have to execute 2 files first (read SGE instructions for this) BEFORE the reboot!

The webpage says "Uninstall any previous versions of IBM Rescue and Recovery preloaded on your system."

No, the web site says (at least here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... Q2QAK.html ):
This release of IBM Rescue and Recovery replaces all previous versions of IBM Rapid Restore Ultra and IBM Rescue and Recovery with Rapid Restore. This version can be installed over the previous (v1.0) release - please see overinstall considerations. Before installing IBM Rescue and Recovery, you must first uninstall any prior versions of IBM Rapid Restore Ultra.

The point is: Rapid Restore Ultra is not equal Rescue and Recovery. You just have to uninstall Rapid Restore Ultra 3, not any R&R Version. If you run setup and have a previous R&R already installed, it says: "updating R&R"

Saw a post in the T42 forum with a link. Seems like the only diff between 3.52 & 3.53 is addition of Chinese & Korean language support. I don't need this!
