(Build 112, 6 MB)
The above updates require a previous full install of ComicBase 14 to function. If you’re using a version earlier than ComicBase 14, download the full installer (or renew/upgrade) using the links on the Registrations page before using these updaters.
Exit ComicBase if open, then download and run the appropriate updater for your edition of ComicBase above.
If you installed ComicBase in a location other than the default ([Program Files]\Human Computing\ComicBase 14), make sure you change the install location to the location where you’ve installed your current copy of ComicBase.
Important Note: These updaters require ComicBase Atlas (a.k.a. ComicBase 12.1). Attempting to use this updater before you’ve installed ComicBase Atlas may lead to unpredictable results, most of which are bad. If you have a current ComicBase subscription you can download the current version of ComicBase using the download link found at www.comicbase.com under My Account > Registrations.
New feature: Allows sellers to post their collections for sale while offering free shipping on amounts on or over a certain limit.
Adds compatibility with Windows Vista, plus support for Atomic Avenue. Adds support for PGX and restored CGC grades (requires a reset of your conditions to see these new grades), Also adds one major feature: the ability to “normalize conditions” of books when selling so that half-graded books (e.g. VF+) automatically get posted to Atomic Avenue as the next lowest full grade (e.g. VF), with note of the original grade made in the item’s notes, and the original selling price preserved.
This version also uses a more “Vista-friendly” set of locations for storing its various files. As an update to a previous install of ComicBase 11, this is evident only in a change to the default locations of pictures, databases, etc. It should automatically pick up on the current locations of these files if 11 has already been installed and use them where they stand.
ComicBase Express Update 11.1 (2.73 MB) Adds compatibility with Windows Vista, plus support for Atomic Avenue.
ComicBase 10.1 Update (7.27 MB) Adds support for Atomic Avenue.
Report Engine Update This is a set of fixes to the Crystal Reports print engine used by ComicBase, released by Crystal’s publisher, Business Objects. If you’re experiencing trouble when printing (crashes, weird behavior, etc.), try downloading and installing this updater. It does seem to fix a problem we’ve seen on some systems which causes ComicBase to shut down when printing price labels or comic identification labels.
ComicBase 9.0.4 Update (22.6 MB) Speeds up ComicBase Statistics, fixes a few assorted bugs, and improves Updater checking. See the Update Notes for the full list of changes.
ComicBase 8.0.4 (Windows) Update (6.5 MB) Adds command key shortcuts for text styles, and automatically reformats pasted title descriptions to match ComicBase style. Fixes a couple of glitches in the initial release, and adds new features suggested by customers at the ComicBase User's Group meeting in San Diego. Notably, issues you own are now highlighted in green, making them much easier to see in the lists. .
Picture Installer 3.0.2 (930 K) *Only used by ComicBase 7 and earlier. ComicBase 8 users should use the File Menu's Manage Pictures and Movies command instead of the old Picture Installer program.
This utility copies files from the ComicBase CD and Bonus Disks to your hard drive so ComicBase can be run without having the CDs inserted. Replaces v3.0 (from the initial release of ComicBase 7) which would not always copy Image and Dark Horse pictures properly. If you are having trouble viewing Dark Horse or Image pictures from within ComicBase 7, try downloading this version of the installer and using it to reinstall the pictures from your ComicBase 7 Program Disk and/or Bonus Disk 2. ComicBase 7.0.1's new Manage Pictures command will also work for putting any misplaced pictures in the proper location.
Note to Windows XP users: If you have problems with the program seeming to stall while copying, chances are good that it's still working, but that the progress bar is not being updated. This appears to be a conflict between Windows XP and the development environment the Picture installer was written in, and we are seeking a solution. In the meantime, please give the program time to complete, or try running it under Windows 2000 compatibility mode by right-clicking on the Picture Installer icon and choosing "Compatibility" from the Properties menu that appears.
ComicBase 7.0.4 (Windows) Update(19.6 MB) Includes various bug fixes, as well as adding new features such as a "Manage Pictures" command which automagically reorganizes your Pictures folder, resolving file names, adding file extensions, and more. It also includes lots of small improvements to everything from more detailed ad posting, to automatic incrementing of cover dates when you add new issues.
Sadly, this version also disables the "Sell Comics" feature, since eBay has changed their software in such a way that it makes it virtually impossible for third-party programs such as ComicBase to post ads to their site. eBay has, however, released new posting tools of their own (PC only). See www.ebay.com for details.

ComicBase 4.0.5 (Win) Updater (1.2 MB) Note: Same as ComicBase 4.0.4, except it now gives a better message when asking if you're upgrading from ComicBase 3, when first using the new program. The updated version will still bear the version number "4.0.4"

VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure you download and install the ComicBase 4 System Files Update if you are updating to ComicBase 4.0.4 or later from a previous version. If you have installed ComicBase 4.0.4 or later from the CD, you do not need to run the system files update.
Updates the ComicBase Price List report to fix a bug on the price list report which repeated the Year 1 price as Year 4 when generating a detailed price list report.
ComicBase 3.1 (Win) Update (1.7 MB) This is special-purpose update for people who wish to use their ComicBase 3 after ComicBase 4 (or its demo) has been installed.
