Hi Jim,

We have found that there are some editions for which the autoupdater 
will not work.  This was due to an error in the autoupdater's HTTPS support.

When upgrading from those editions, it's necessary to manually download 
the update.

If you're having difficulty with the "Check for updates" feature I do 
recommend downloading the installer for the version you're trying to 
update to from https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode
