8339, update? download? windows installer registry

[Allroads]

I always used windows installer, even when there was a message on the start page you must update, pushed windows installer and ready.

Then I expect that it is installed on my hard drive. This is what all windows installer should do!

But now, I get after pushing de start link, a automated download session and it opened Josm. and see version 8339. At first I did not noticed it, hee, automatic update, hmmm. Worked with Josm.

Now, opened it today again, new "download" session, strange it did it yesterday, also 8339. Why?
I believed it was installed already, curious, so I went to configuration screen and programs.
No 8339 installed.

Just see there
Josm 7347, The openstreetmap developer community, 29-07-2014
Josm 8279, Openstreetmap JOSM team, 27-04-2015

I expect from a windows installer that it installs the program on my PC, it did not,.......like every windows installer program.
I like to have the control, if I update/download or not/when.

I expect that the registry is managed properly.

So there are two problems.
Now you see 7347, when I want to uninstall that 7347, it says uninstall 8279, the latest installed.

There should be 8339 now.

Seems you are mixing several things here.

The Wiki pages initial buttons use webstart. This means JOSM is downloaded and started. It's not installed in any way. If you want this, then you need to use the windows installer.

How you got two installations in parallel is a bit strange. Anyway I'd suggest to either simply update to most recent version or uninstall the old ones first and then update.

JOSM develops very fast and sometimes you get new features onyl when you have no old setup, so if you don't have especially important configurations settings, it does no harm to delete everything and start from scratch.
