HowTo: update v5.10 -> v5.11 (XP64 pro)
Contributor I
-- update RM v5.0.10 > v5.0.11 --
Conclusion for Windows XP64 pro and sun java se/re v1.6.0_22:
0] install via: rapidminer-5.0.010x64-install.exe
1] update via: RapidMiner.exe
2] do not use launcher.jar for updates
3] execution directory for launcher.jar should be handled
with care e.g.: RapidMiner5\lib or RapidMiner5\
Details:
0] most up-to-date versions of RM for 64Bit windows I've found
via: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rapidminer/files/
are: a] rapidminer-5.0.010.zip
b] rapidminer-5.0.010x64-install.exe
1.a] unsolved rollback problem updating from rapidminer-5.0.010.zip
- <double-click start> RM via: rapidminer\lib\launcher.jar
- note: execution dir will be: rapidminer\lib\
- update only RM >help/update/RapidMiner 5.0.11
- install, accept, restart
- nothing happens (almost like R-Extension loop of death)
http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,2716.0.html
- after starting RM twice, it is rolled back to 5.0.10.
1.b] RapidMiner.exe fixes 5.0.11
- install via: rapidminer-5.0.010x64-install.exe
- <double-click start> RM via: RapidMiner5\lib\launcher.jar
- note: execution dir will be: RapidMiner5\lib\ since RM is
here: C:\Program Files\Rapid-I\RapidMiner5 (default)
- update only RM >help/update/RapidMiner 5.0.11
- install, accept, restart
- nothing happens (almost like R-Extension loop of death)
http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,2716.0.html
- after starting RM twice, it is rolled back to 5.0.10.
- but starting: RapidMiner.exe fixes RM & runs v5.0.11
- any further starts of launcher.jar are fixed v5.0.11
working for now

to say it shortly: The automatic update can only work if you start RapidMiner using the binary .exe files on windows or the script files from the /bin directory. This is because you will need a second program that overwrites RapidMiner with the downloaded new version. This cannot be done by RapidMiner, because no program can overwrite itself.
