  Re: FW: updating Robolab 2.5 - Some testing
 
I have Robolab 2.5.0 and I tried to install SP1. The install says that 2.5.1 is required. It then searches for 2.5.1 on your disk. In my case it said 2.5.1 found and updated the software. Robolab now no longer works! This seems to suggest that you (...) (22 years ago, 18-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.dacta)
 
  FW: updating Robolab 2.5 - Some testing - part 2
 
Hello All, A small update The "Fixes CLI vis in Pilot mode" dated 7-17-2002 to be applied to 2.5.2 is incorrect. It must be applied to Robolab 2.5.1.

I'm not sure, but I think this thread has now had more name changes than a dead LEGO product line. ;) (...) Name changes (after 20+ years of being in use) are a silly exercise.
