  Does the mobile client auto update or do we need to manually reinstall?

  Looks like it will prompt you to update the mobile version if it sees when it sees the update.

  Yes, the mobile client should detect a new update is available when it starts up or at roughly 24-hour intervals (depending on connectivity) and will prompt you to download the update and install it.

  The mobile client updated itself on my Pocket PC. It notified me of the update and gave the option to download it; it downloaded the CAB file and installed it in the usual way.

  This version of the mobile client still closes out before it can sign in, just like the original released version. Do I need to send logs again?

  I'm checking for updates on my desktop client and it says it is up to date although the version is: 0.9.3424.5. Do we need to uninstall and reinstall it manually?

  Live Mesh for Mac: 0.9.3602.818 keeps crashing for me with a nice EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) on launch. Annoying. Any bugfixes for this in the next update?

  @jsbenjamin Deleting my ~/Library/Application Support/Live ID and Live Mesh folders as suggested for another issue in the forum did the trick. Thanks.

  How do i get my Live Mesh up to the latest version? Installing the client from Livemesh.com only brings it to 0.9.3424.5. And if i after install do a "Check for updates" it says updates are available and after clicking though the UAC prompt i get a "Updates configured" message down in at traybar but the version still stays at 0.0.3424.5.

  @ Tommy, 0.9.3424.5 is the latest version of the Windows client.  That said, you should not be seeing "updates available" when Live Mesh is, in fact, up to date.  Do you have Live Mesh installed under an admin account?  If it's installed under a standard user account, that could explain the problem.  You may wish to visit our support forums for more assistance: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/LiveMesh/threads/
