You need 9.2.1 installed to upgrade to 9.2.2.
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75186> (for 9.2.2)
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120030> (for 9.2.1)
The upgrade path is:
9.0 through 9.0.4 -> 9.1 -> 9.2.1 -> 9.2.2
Apple says 9.2.1 can be installed over 9.2 (9.2.0?)
BTW If you're running OS X I *strongly* recommend 9.2.2. It is by far the
fastest, most stable and bug free Classic engine out there! Plus, OS 9.2.2
fixed my disappearing windows problem... sometimes Classic windows wouldn't
display when I started Classic (I'd have to restart).
If you're running OS 9, versions 9.0.0-9.0.3 and 9.2.0 are to be avoided
like the plague! If you're running 9.0 upgrade to at least 9.0.4 (9.1 broke
some software), if not 9.1 or 9.2.2 (I never ran 9.1 on its own except as
required by OS X 10.0.x... I preferred 9.0.4 to 9.1 if it was running on its
own) [now I'm running 9.2.2... but I spend 95% of my time in OS X].
L8r, Eric.
