update sourcetree to 3.4.11 keeps old version

[Wilfred van Dijk]

On our management server (used by several members of our dev team), I was intending to update Sourcetree 3.4.10 to 3.4.11

I logged in as an administrator, downloaded and installed 3.4.11 but after the installation I got 2 shortcuts on my desktop: one to version 3.4.10 and the other to version 3.4.11

I also noticed that 3.4.10 was installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Atlassian\Sourcetree but the newer version was installed at C:\Users\wilfred_admin\AppData\Local\SourceTree. It looks like this was an installation for me only? The documentation for updating sourcetree is very poor (sorry)

How do I update Sourcetree so that everybody has only the new version available with the current shortcut? (by overwriting the code in program files)

I think I found the reason for this situation: The initial installation was done with an Enterprise version, this installs in "c:\program files ...." The update I downloaded was the free version, which resulted in a duplicate installation.

So I have to check for enterprise updates ...

Hope this is valuable for somebody else!
