RockSim used to download the new file into the "current RockSim installation" directory, but the last two or three versions have been stuffing them in another location...
Walk this way: "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\ApogeeComponents\Rocksim_9" Then, tiptoe through these tulips: "UpdateDownloads" This is also the same general path that you use to update the CSV files. RockSim seems to completely ignore the old locations.

If the RockSim installation on the laptop is fresh and you don't care what's in the parts files that come with the installation, just copy the parts files you have with your custom parts directly over the files on the laptop, into the proper directory. Very seldom does a new update version of RockSim have any new parts in the files so I usually just back up my files with all my custom and SEMROC parts, and copy those over to each new install to retain what I have without all the import hassle. (Back up the files in your laptop install anyway in case you want to revert back to them for any reason). Never liked the import feature with all the prompts to overwrite ect. so seldom use that feature. Either that or I update the files using OpenOffice directly and resave them. .

Ditto Steve's comment:

Also remember the new issue about the old Data and DataImport folders - RockSim may be completely ignoring these folders now, relying instead on the new folders located at: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\ApogeeComponents\R ocksim_9 Try blowing out the content of the new "Data" folder and inserting your custom CSV files before cranking the program up. The worst that can happen is you have to reinstall RockSim again...

version 9.1.0f114
Looks like a new build again...
Changes for version 9.1.0f114 Fixed the simulation summary print process. The page margins are now working correctly. Printing simulation graphs using File - Print or the Print toolbar icon now works correctly. |

That makes three builds in the last two months, IIRC...
I think it has to do with the switch to the new Qt library (4.7.1). They had been using 4.5.0 since build 9.0.4.78.

There has to be more to the foloder issue than the parts database. I downloaded the 114 update through a running version of Rocksim 9 and after downloading the splash is paresented regarding the updater will process when the app closes. Nothing happens after the app closes. When you start Rocksim 9 once more the previous version is still there.
The download of 114 is placed into the aforementioned deeply hidden folder; in my case: C:\Documents and Settings\John Harding\Local Settings\Application Data\ApogeeComponents\Rocksim_9\UpdateDownloads You can execute the update from this location as long as the application is shut down. What I do not understand is why the downloader will not install the update automatically? The Rocksim9 application is running out of C:\Program Files\RockSim 9, which I thought was defaulted in installation. I am not aware of making any folder location changes, so I am just perturbed that the app recoginzes a new version, initiates a web download of the update, writes the update file into the location, prompts the user to close the app to start the update, then takes a nap.
