John, I dowloaded and installed DNN 4.8.2 (binary not source) back in January. Since then I have noticed there have been several bug fixes. How do I install the latest fixes into my version. It seems that I have to grab the latest source rebuild then install again? This seems like a lot of work. Is this correct or am I misunderstanding the process? Thx

No, you never have to compile the core yourself unless you want to change something in the core code. The upgrade process is explained in this thread: http://www.snapsis.com/DNN-Frequently-Asked-Questions/tabid/560/forumid/10/postid/4889/view/topic/How-To--Upgrade-DotnetNuke.aspx

Ok 1. Backup DB, Copy DNN files to new location 2. DL the newest release of DNN. Extract and overlay your DNN Files. 3. Copy your custom items from web.config to the release.config connection strings, machinevalidation key, 3rd module references, etc... rename release.config to web.config 4. Upgrade the site using the upgrade url 5. If there are errors restore DB remove all DNN files with saved copies Looks like this is it thx
