Update questions: from v16.2 to v26

[tijanaw]

OK guys, right now i'm running the V16.2 in the MKIII and i wanna finally update. I've downloaded the Key cd just in case. My ? is: do i need to get all the other versions b4 i install the latest one v26 i believe or can just upgrade to the v26 coming straight from the v16.2?
Thanks!

as far as i know, V26 is not for MKIII's. it is only for MKIV's.

Yep he's right. Although you *can* use V26 to update the MKIII but it will only take it to the last update for MKIII. 3-1/63, if it works. I think you are better off to burn and use a V25 CD for your upgrade.... my .02 cents.
ps. I did not have any probelms going straight to V25, did not have to install all of the updates in-between.
