Two points that need clarification.
the present Updating from a Previous Version of ExpressionEngine  instructions mention :

“Once the Update Wizard is finished, remove the following folder from your server:
system/installer/”

But one doesn’t need the installer for update to latest version of ExpressionEngine 2 do we??

BUT IF it is needed  there is no mention of having to upload that directory at the beginning of the files to upload.

“Using an FTP program such as WS_FTP, SmartFTP, Transmit or Fetch, replace the following files and folders on your server with their new versions:

admin.php
index.php
system/
themes/ “

Very Confusing instructions

Secondly. If one restores the previous CONFIG.PHP file from earlier instructions   it has the pervious version # in it and can cause errors.
$config[‘app_version’] = ‘240’; 

??

Yes, you need the installer folder to update to the latest version of EE.  It means upload those files and folders including subfolders which installer is a subfolder of system.  Secondly, the installer will write the new version number into the config.php file during the install process.

Sorry for the false alarm. I had forgotten to upload the Installer Folder…. this in spite of having used EE since day one.
Colour me embarrassed.

Hey giovanni,

I am glad to see you got this figured out.

If you need anything else, please just let me know by opening a new thread.

Cheers,
