Following is a quote from the Yahoo Carrara group regarding the "fresh installation" of the new patch. =================================================== From: Arnaud Berry Date: Wed Oct 23, 2002 12:35 pm Subject: Re: [Carrara] Re: Carrara 2.1 Update Hi, The Carrara 2.1 updater includes the fixes of the first patch. You can install it either on Carrara 2.0.0.16 (cd version) or on Carrara 2.0.0.21 (patch1 version). But as some users had difficulties installing the first patch, we recommend installing C2.1 on a clean install. Arnaud.
