first off DONT install ...just get the zip ~ extract to a fav place (mine goto c:blender just avoid program files )
make a folder for all addons , open blender preffs and set addons folder you just made as default
for extra protection save a "startup.blend" then if you forget to hit copy preffs just open "startup.blend" with load UI ticked
keep at least 2 or 3 older blenders ready to use ;-) sometimes addons can take a while to get updated ......... doing something in an older version then appending to new blender can save time and hairpulling lol
ps I had much the same reaction as unbroken ;-) [DONT KNOCK THE BLENDER rofl] but I've seen maxM around and about and knew (s)he didn't mean it THAT way lol and to be fair if I go in a max forum and just smell of blender I'd need a Kevlar jacket ;-)
Hey Heddheld
The suggestion by lobo3433 of updating from the splash screen worked with the exception of the theme of which I have downloaded and installed, but I will make note of your suggestion and grab the zip file and not the installer.
You mentioned about
open blender preffs and set addons folder you just made as default, I looked all around the user preference menu and couldn't see how to do that.
How do I do that please ?
