Okay, here goes, a month ago I purchased Vegas Movie Studio Platinum which came with DVD arch. I since have purchased the full or pro version of Vegas + DVD which I thought included Vegas 6.0 and a Pro version of DVD arch. When I went to install DVD Arch. from the new full version I just bought ,I get a message that says I already have a newer version of DVD arch installed and do I want to overwright that version. My questions are this.

1. I did run the DVD Arch update on my Platinum version but when it boots up it still says version 3.0 build 51 or 53, should it not say build 133 which I think is the update no.

2. Am I missing some features by not doing the DVD arch install from the new full version I just bought or is that part of the suite the exact same software as the Platinum edition?

3. If the full version does have more features than the updated Platinum edition should I let the full version installer overwrite the Platinum edition and then do a DVD Arch. 3.0 update?

4. I did my update to Platinum with a download on a flash drive and it seemed to work except a new build version does not seem to show up. Do I need to move the download off the flash drive to a folder on the hard drive for it to install correctly. I need to know this as I also need to do the Vegas 6.c update.

Thanks

The Pro versions of Vegas and DVDA are completely separate programs from the Studio versions. They will install in separate directories and have different shortcuts. It sounds to me like you've probably sucessfully installed the Pro version, but you're still clicking the shortcut for the Studio version. The paths to the full versions should be something like:
C:\Program Files\Sony\Vegas 6.0\vegas.exe
C:\Program Files\Sony\DVD Architect 3.0\dvdarch30.exe

Moving to the full version isn't an update to the Studio version; it's a completely new install. Don't bother with the CD you bought because that's probably an older release. The latest release is under Downloads (at the top of this page). You don't need to install any older releases first as the updates contain the entire software.
