I get this error when I try to update my RW Classic  
I have RW version 9.2.1 (21062)

Update Error!  
RapidWeaver can’t be updated if it’s running from the location it was downloaded to. Cancel Update.

Note: I didn’t know that I was running it from the download location. How do I fix both issues.  
Thank you,  
Charlie

Suggestion: Simply put the RapidWeaver app where it belongs: in your applications folder.
