You have to run the upgrade through to completion.
While running your old version of YAAC, choose the menu entry Help->Check for Updates. If it finds a newer version, it will see if your system allows upgrading (it may not, depending on how the old version was installed; perhaps with a different user account such as "root" so the user running YAAC now doesn't have permissions to overwrite it), and, if OK, download the YAAC.zip file. It will then ask you if you want to run the upgrader. If you don't run the upgrader, the YAAC.zip file won't be unpacked to upgrade your existing installation.
When the upgrader is finished, you don't have to let it start the new version of YAAC for you, although you can. I always start the new version manually from a command shell window (not by clicking an icon), so I can see if there are any unexpected error messages.
But the important part is not only downloading the new version, but installing it over the old version.
Hope this helps.

Andrew,
Yes, it is bike ride time again. I am trying to upgrade YAAC, and I have an Icon on my desktop to launch YAAC. Unfortunately, the icon does not call up the new software. How can I get the icon to call up the new version of YAAC?
Thank you for your wonder program.
