                Hi Tim Instead of worrying about users downloading the wrong build, why not just start a new forum thread that lists all the download links chronologically? Users can then see which is the latest build, as well as choose which build they prefer to download. A direct link will save current users from having to input their details every time we want to download a new update. Thanks!

and could be sticky too.
I would like to propose also, that the file name of every new 
installer  compilation of the same 
program  revision can be clearly identified by incrementing an appended letter.
Using the program revision and build number for the file name seems to be a good idea too, e.g.:
CU4.3.660.exe
CU4.3.660a.exe
CU4.3.660b.exe
etc.
CU4.3.660b.exe = Version 4 . SP 3 . Build 660 . Compilation B

                With all these different builds and confusing communications I have no idea what is going on any more. How can you have three builds that are all numbered the same thing ? I thought the point of a build number was to create a clear way of naming one particular  build, not several builds. Has SP1 been released or not ? If it has, what / where is the link ? How about starting a new topic (like Norbert suggested) so we know what is going on.

                Have to agree with NickB and Norbert on this one, seems a relatively easy thing to do.
