Incremental update problems

I am running windows 7 Profesional 64 bit and Creo Parametric 2.0 M030 and I did an Install of Creo2.0 M040 but Creo says it is still says M030?

Below is a picture of loaded programs and features that shows both versions are loaded

I ran the install as administrator as usual but M040 won't run.

My question is has anyone else had this problem and what is the fix?

I would like to get M040 running before the next incremental upgrade in a couple of weeks. I also don't want to uninstall everything and do a fresh reinstall.

Thanks,

Steve

Steve,

I never use incremental upgrade, because this kind of installation is unreliable (this is my personal experience). So I suggest you to do new clean installation for any maintenance build of Creo Parametric 2.0 (I use installation directories named C:\PTC\Creo2_M030, C:\PTC\Creo2_M040 to distinguish between individual installations of Creo).

Thank you, Martin for confirming that I've been doing the right thing with a full uninstall and complete install eaxch time.

Steve, I had this problem with F001 to M010. I've gotten pretty good at "starting over". The only thing I leave is the LM module (FlexLM) since I use a down-rev version. I have to uninstall the new one that loads each time after the install. I also create a folder structure like Martin.
