I noticed two updaters and the OSXUpd10.8.4.dmg rather than the combo and it worked. I went back to the Moutain Lion page to dowload the the full 10.8.4 but got confused by the Apple dialog box that says

What was really strange was the App Store downloaded the Install OS X Mountin Lion to my archive drive and wrote over (replace) the 10.8.3 installer with teh new 1.3.24 installer.

This will ALWAYS happen when you download a new FULL installer (OS X Mountain Lion.app). It will always overwrite one that it finds on your internal drive or external drive.

I have already upgraded my mac to 10.8.4, but in the MacApp store there appears an option to Download the Installer, as well as the option to Upgrade.

If I Download the installer, will it automatically start to install from Launchpad, or will it wait for me to tell it what to do? I don't actually want to install it from that - again ...

It is downloading it into LaunchPad to start with - 4.4GB, so I have a little while. If it starts to install it, how do I stop it? I just want to keep the installer for emergencies etc.

thanks
