Re: st: Stata update

[Danielle H Ferry <dferry@nber.org>]

I recently had the same problem. I can't remember now which file it was 
that it couldn't find, but it was an ado file. This was the first time 
running -update all- after installing directly from the CD. I was able 
to update the executable to the most current version, but the ado files 
always got stuck at this one file. Jitian, does this sound similar to 
your situation? Which file does it get stuck on? If it is the same, 
perhaps it really _is_ missing?
