Hello Miles,
After all the help you have been to me in the past I am happy to help
you.
About two months ago I received a CD-ROM from Pitsco with the label
2.5.1 on it. The instructions were very simple "Overlay everything in
the current Robolab directory with what is on this CD-ROM" I did and
everything worked fine and Robolab system said 2.5.1.
In order to get this CD-ROM for 2.5.1 I called Deanna Newell at Pitsco.
She was on vacation and they transferred me to some very friendly tech
support people. To make a long story short, I pointed out all the
patches that need to be applied to 2.5 and they freely sent me 2.5.1.
Good people there.
I have applied all the beta patches mentioned with dates before
7-5-2002. They do install and fix problems in my environment:
1.) My early container problems disappeared;
2.) My vision and camera problems largely disappeared with the vision
patch;
(Some vision issues remain with certain cameras. My solution has been do
not use the ones that require more work)
3.) The generic sensor patch works with the one third-party sensor I
own. (Most third-party sensors that act like light sensors work fine I
believe)
4.) The Robo server patch works.
The "Fixes CLI vis in Pilot mode" dated 7-17-2002 I have not installed
because it says 2.5.2 not 2.5.1!!
I understand the Service Pack 1 dated 8-14-2002 is 2.5.2. I have not
confirmed this. I will download it in the next hour and let you know
tomorrow if you are interested.
The one other issue is I use XP with NTFS file system. I only log on as
an administrator user only and I have no problems.
I do not know what version Pitsco is shipping now.
Lastly, I giving two presenations at NWBrickCon on Advanced Robolab and
basic Robolab, it would nice to meet you.

Let me know if you need other information.

What should owners of version 2.5 do ?
Does 2.5 need the updates in Service Pack 1 ?
How do owners of version 2.5 update it to 2.5.1 ?
What does 2.5.1 update beyond 2.5 ?
Does Lego currently ship 2.5.1 ?
Do the Beta Patches at
http://www.ceeo.tufts.edu/robolabatceeo/Resources/downloads/default.asp
applicable to version 2.5.0 update it to 2.5.1 ?
Lego's Robolab page http://www.lego.com/dacta/robolab/default.htm does
not
mention version 2.5.1 or even version 2.5 even though Pitsco ships 2.5.
How
