SilkyPix Update?

I had an e-mail notification about an upgrade to 3.0.17, but when I went to the website, it wasn't at all like it has been. I was usually met with a download button, a form (already filled in with my e-mail, name and camera type) and that was that. No such luck this time (and it's NOT a cookie thing), but a note said that downloading the latest would "update my registered software."

I downloaded the file (around 22Mb, as usual), but there was no warning dialog box along the lines of "There is already a version - are you sure that you want to update/overwite it?" so I backed away from it on the grounds that I didn't want to trash my existing version (3.0.13).

Any knowledge / comments, please?

I should add that the file for download is silkypix_win.exe rather than the usual SilkypixE30132.EXE

I allways download the early preview versions.
Shortcut Inc. seems to have changed the filename to silkypix_win so you don't know which version you are downloading. According to the Shortcut Inc. website the current version is 3.0.17.2

The latest "Preview" version is 3.0.18. It installed itself perfectly well over my previous version. You can download from here:

www.isl.co.jp/SILKYPIX/english/download/early_preview/?20080325

The file name is SilkypixE30183EP.EXE

You could backup your entire system first if hesitant about installing any software. Not a bad thing to do occasionally anyway.

I have updated the paid version on my laptop (a Dell), and it works better than the old version.

Many thanks, iceblinker - that's the site page I was looking for - brilliant, the file is downloading as I write this!

I hope I'll notice the same improvement as you did, George.

Edit: All successfully installed, updating my paid version to 3.0.18.3 which does seem a little faster.
