Here’s an easy one! I’m currently running RW Classic 9.2.1, and I’ve just seen Dan’s announcement that 9.3 is ready for use. So, how to I upgrade to 9.3? Do I simply replace the old RW application with the new one? Thanks in advance, folks! ---

Dan, is there a glitch with the 9.3 installer? I download it OK and unzip the file but it will not start up. At the moment I am trying to install it on a Mac running 10.15.7. ---

Hi @RobMustard, When you launch RapidWeaver Classic 9.2.1 it should prompt you to install the update. But yes, you can simply replace your old version if you manually downloaded it. FYI: All versions of RapidWeaver Classic can be download form here, incase you need to rollback for whatever reason. > **[RapidWeaver Release Notes](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/releasenotes/)** > > RapidWeaver release notes, including links to download every version of RapidWeaver since 2004. Hope that helps. ---

Hi @MikeSA, What error do you see when you try to launch the downloaded version of RapidWeaver Classic 9.3? ---

Evening Dan, No specific error. The icon animates in the dock but nothing happens further. Or I double-click the icon in Applications, same result. ---

For now you can [downgrade to 9.2.1](https://dl.devant.io/v1/3c53887f-427a-4af7-9144-ee16178c62f4/21062/RapidWeaver.zip) while we work out what the issue is. We’ll look into it here and do some more testing and push out another update as soon as we can. ---
