After reinstalling, in Help | About, the version reported is 2022.6 (4097). So the upgrade was successful. It appears that the Debian install file has the wrong version associated with it.</p></div>Arthurtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/577549622023-01-31T00:55:35Z2023-01-31T00:55:41ZUpdate<div><p>My experience (on Linux Mint 21.1) was identical to Arthur's.</p></div>Davetag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/577549622023-01-31T22:14:41Z2023-01-31T22:14:49ZUpdate<div><p>ok...<br>
same here on pop_os. the problem i'm having is HOW do you go about reinstalling the new version without accidently losing the data file.</p>
<p>I apologize for the question, but i just turned 71 and I have trouble with this :)</p></div>milestag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/577549622023-01-31T22:23:06Z2023-01-31T22:23:06ZUpdate<div><p>I am not support staff, just a user.<br>
Hi Miles</p>
<p>Like a lot of software the Moneydance app and the data files it create are completely separate and stored in separate locations. Delete the Moneydance app and the data file remains.<br>
To be doubly safe do a FILE – EXPORT to do a Moneydance backup to a know location before you install a new build.</p>
<p>Hope this helps.</p></div>derekkent23tag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/577549622023-01-31T22:25:34Z2023-01-31T22:25:34ZUpdate<div><p>When you install the deb kit it typically says you already have it installed, I suspect an issue with the headers, you just select to install again and a little later it tells you it is upgrading, it's annoying but fairly minor in the scheme of things. I see it frequently as I test Moneydance on Linux.</p>
<p>Upgrading the program does NOT touch your data files in any way, they are in a completely different location.</p>
<p>It is the same as when you upgrade say your office software, that does not touch your documents, spreadsheets etc.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/577549622023-01-31T22:34:58Z2023-01-31T22:34:59ZUpdate<div><p>thanks everyone!</p>
