&gt; I updated from Komodo 4.2 to 4.4.0 yesterday using the Help Menu-&gt;Check
<br> 
&gt; For Updates option. &nbsp;This had me update to 4.3.0 first. &nbsp;Then
to 4.3.1. <br> 
&gt; &nbsp;Then to 4.3.2. &nbsp;Finally, it updated to 4.4.0.<br> 
&gt; <br> 
&gt; Then I noticed that the name of the directory and the desktop icon
still <br> 
&gt; said it was Komodo 4.2. &nbsp;However, the executable is definitely
4.4.0.<br> 
&gt; <br> 
&gt; This seems like an updater/installer bug.<br> 
<br> 
Yes, it is a known issue that was &quot;fixed&quot; in Komodo 4.3 -- I
believe, I <br> 
may be wrong at that the fix was in the 4.4 alphas/betas.<br> 
<br> 
Here the &quot;fix&quot; is to get it right from that point on rather than
<br> 
getting, say, the Komodo 4.4 installer/updater to go back and clean up
<br> 
old desktop shortcuts. We *could* (and should) fix Komodo's auto-update
<br> 
to clean up old shortcuts, quick launch links, Start Menu program group
<br> 
names and &quot;Add/Remove Programs&quot; meta data -- but haven't done
that yet.<br> 
<br> 
Regarding the install directory: the default install dir for 4.2 <br> 
includes the &quot;.2&quot;. Komodo's auto-update for 4.3 and 4.4 cannot
*change* <br> 
the install directory after the fact.<br> 
<br> 
To get everything very clean you could go to Start &gt; Settings &gt; <br> 
Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all versions of Komodo. Then install
<br> 
Komodo 4.4. After that the directory names, shortcuts, etc. should be <br> 
correct for updates (*).<br> 
<br> 
Sincerely,<br> 
Trent<br> 
<br> 
(*) With the remaining exception that the version number in Add/Remove
<br> 
Programs is still not being updated.<br>
