Where do I download the update for the console? If I just re-download the setup_console_bp_full.exe file, will it be the updated version, or is there just an update to install?

I’m updating the console.
Do i want setup_console_bp.exe or setup_console_bp_full.exe?

Update: FWIW, I downloaded and installed setup_console_bp_full.exe and it performed an upgrade on the existing installation (as desired).

Well that was interesting. I downloaded the setup_console_bp_full.exe, ran it, and everything was going smooth until the very end of the install when it suddenly stopped, rolled back, and gave me a vague error and said the update was rolled back and that nothing has been changed.

This was a lie, as my entire console setup got uninstalled when it rolled back!

I rebooted the server and ran the setup_console_bp_full.exe again, but instead of running as an upgrade this time, it was running as a full install. Everything was gone. I had to reinstall it all over again from scratch, recreate the login, map it to the sql database again, etc.

I am up and running now with version 1.1.132.15, but the update process was obviously not as smooth as expected.
