This is supposed to help with stability issues, and it's about 700mb.
I'm not highly knowledgable in the technical aspects of programs, but this didn't seem like a patch when I was running the installer program that came with it. It asked if I wanted to re-install files where files were setup when I initially installed the program less than a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe I've just done something massively wrong, you know... like using the setup wizard that's needed to install this 'update', but I started this around lunch yesterday, and it's still not done yet.

Another drafter installed this (took him 6 hours), and says that he sees no noticeable difference. Still getting the errors/warnings he got (like it saying he couldn't edit an element because he had it locked for editing by him only)...

If you catch wind of this, I dont' recommend updating unless there's already no hope.
