Can I not update from 0.4.6. RC2?
I'm very puzzled. I use version 0.4.6 RC2. The program when running has a green indicator on the left hand side of the screen saying that release 0.4.6 is available. I downloaded the newer version, installed it on top of the existing program, but the program still remains as version 0.4.6 RC2. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but still no change. The only thing that I didn't disturb is the Documents and Settings folder of SABnzbd, because I didn't want to delete my settings.

Search your complete harddisk for the file SABnzbd.exe (Windows has a nice search function).
Maybe you installed the previous version on another location.

Oh, thank you so much! I would never have found what was wrong if it wasn't for your help.
What I discovered was that I had one installation in Program Files in a directory named SABnzdb, and another one in a directory named SABnzbd. I must have installed the pre 0.4.6 version or versions using the zip file package instead of the version with the installer, and I gave the related directory the wrong file name (SABnzdb). When I recently installed the 0.4.6 release I used the installer which obviously installed the application in the other directory (SABnzbd) while my shortcut was pointing to the SABnzdb directory.
The good news is that my settings have not been affected by my stupid mistake.
