Updater doesn't update - is this correct behavior?

[Bob Sneidar]

+1 I have on several occasions downloaded the latest only to find a problem with it.

Invariably bugs (regression or otherwise) creep in. I like having these older versions available by default. That being said, if you click the "replace older version" box which version do you overwrite if you have 4 versions(6.7.x,7.1.x,8.0.x,8.1.X) installed? LiveCode being a multi platform development tool needs a different update philosophy then say MS Word.

I guess this is OK if it’s clearly explained to newbies, and there are obvious advantages if you want to go back to the earlier version, but personally I would like the choice to keep or replace when the installation starts. Anyone else think this is a good idea?
