I am at 1.15. Have been reading posts and planning to update.

All I need to do is follow the instructions in the above post to do the update and only remove the old file if the system reports I am at the latest version.

This is my first attempt at an update, so, baby steps as I learn more.

Of the two hotspots I have with Nextion screens, the above installation/update script does not work on one of them, primarily because the NextionDriverInstaller directory is missing. (FWIW: The HS with the missing directory was built about two years ago - using perhaps a different install script? - whereas the HS with the intact directory was built about 2 months ago; the first is level 3.4.17 whereas the latter is RC6.) Other than the missing directory, the driver/screen is working on both HS's.

Tried reinstalling the driver from GIT but that did not restore the directory.

Any thoughts on how I can get the directory rebuilt/reinstalled so I can continue with the updates?

Don't know why it didn't (re)create the NextionDriverInstaller directory the first (second?) time, but I ran the install (yet) again and everything is back in sync among my HS's.

Thanks
