You may have to download the complete package and re-install from

I had LTSpice on my machine at work behind a corporate firewall.
It wasn't a really big deal on my NT station. I just downloaded the
latest release every couple of weeks, and the new version always
installed smoothly over the old version. The only glitch is that the
standard component library files get clobbered by the new installation.
(These are the files called "standard.bjt", "standard.dio", etc in
"..\SwCADIII\lib\cmp".) If you've added any transistors, capacitors,
etc to these databases you'll lose the data. (The Sync Release tool
merges your additions to the old database, with the new database
files -
which I find rather impressive!) To work around this, I created a
parallel structure of files called "additions.bjt", "additions.dio",
etc to hold info for the the components I added then I used a text
editor to append my "additions.xxx" on the end of the "standard.xxx"
files after every re-installation. A DOS macro of about 3 lines could
probably do the same thing with the "copy <file1>+<file2>" command if I
was too lazy to open the text editor.
Maybe this summer Mike (Englehardt) will get a student intern who can
re-work the installation package so the user can specify either a
complete installation or simply update an existing installation . . .

Thank You for the advice.
I tried to re-install from scratch under Wine but I have the same
problem. I think I will follow the procedure that You use under NT.
Thank You again
