Having trouble with Version 7.5.1 Update
Hi,
My problem is I don't know computers that well. I'm doing great with Sibelius (I have 7.5). But I was just alerted that I'm eligible for an upgrade to 7.5.1 and I started to download it but then backed out in the middle because it looked like it was doing more than just updating my current version. It looked like it was giving me a whole new program, installing an entire new Sibelius version. And I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I sort of panicked and stopped it because I pictured losing all my files and my music. I've still go the "Sibelius751Installer.exe" on my desktop, so I could go back to it.
Can anyone give me some guidance with this? Thanks a lot.

Yes, everything you have will still work when you upgrade to 7.5.1. BUT, the golden rule is never to upgrade an app or an OS when you're in the middle of something important!
7.5.1 is a free update to registered 7.5 owners, so just download it again. Didn't your computer automatically save the download? If not, set it to do so.

There seems to be a strange 'silent install' procedure for upgrading to 7.5.1 from 7.5.0. I found this when logged onto my Avid account. The link is here:

Not sure if this is how I did it originally, or whether it will still work (without jumping through hoops) but worth a try.
