I have a few related questions:

  1. I have an older version of LLBLGen, Template Studio, and the SDK installed. I'd like to install all the latest versions now. Is the correct sequence below?

a. Uninstall LLBLGen through Add/Remove Programs and install the latest version labeled "LLBLGen Pro full installer v1.0.2005.1" from the "Full Version" page.

b. Download the latest "Template Studio" zip from "Extras" and extract over the existing files.

c. Download the latest "LLBLGen Pro SDK" zip from "Extras" and extract over the existing files.

  1. I am unsure what "Templates for LLBLGen Pro 1.0.2005.1" from the "Templates" page is. How is that different than the templates included in the "Full Version"?

  2. I have a custom templateset config that uses a custom include template. Do I have to redo anything after upgrading? I assume I should look at the latest version of the include template from which I created my customized copy to see if any changes had been made.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Correct simple_smile

Those are the same. We distribute the elements also in separate archives, so if a bugfix is made in for example a template or a runtime library, you can just download that archive and you don't need to download the full installer (which is 13MB at the moment).

  1. I have a custom templateset config that uses a custom include template. Do I have to redo anything after upgrading? I assume I should look at the latest version of the include template from which I created my customized copy to see if any changes had been made. Thanks in advance for any help!

Check with a diff program (windiff for example) to see what the differences are between your template set config and the new template set configs. You probably miss a few bindings here and there, copy these over to your custom template set. The custom include template should work as before.
