ive see lots of probs with the latest updates being applied/installed.  many have resolved their issues (or avoided them to begin with) by fully uninstalling first.  im willing to do this but obviously a lot of work so slightly disappointing.

i thought id ask, have any of you done this update the 'normal' way (just dloaded and updated the app then let the app apply all the other updates) WITHOUT having any issues?

I tried to install the upgrades without uninstalling the 3 apps, but I was getting conflicting info.
It doesn't take long to uninstall the windows driver, the PT2 and the RC program. You have to click EXE to install the new updates anyway so get a fresh install.  I even uninstalled the DJI app on my tabet and got the new one from the download page.

yes i know it isnt hard, i develop software for a living so i know the ins and outs of installs and driver registrations, just not something that is a normal must for 99% of apps so i dont like wasting time, even if only 10 or 15 mins (i have enough things every day that stretch my time already).  so it isnt whether i know if i can do it properly just figuring out how common it was (in other words if 9 out of 10 people fail the easy way, then ill take the time, if it were lower odds, i might not).

Installed assistant 3.8 without uninstalling 3.6 or drivers on my WIN8.1 Machine and did the update on my P2V+ V3 without any problems.
Also App 1.0.52 works on my Lollipop 5.0.2 Nexus 7 without crashes

Further to my earlier post, I have just flown a test flight with all the new updates- everything is perfect and I am a happy pilot!  nothing else to report other than  no flyaways, no breaks in transmission, and video recording and still all still work as they should.
Cheers!
