Do I need to install 21.1 patch on top of 21.1 Multilingual?

BJB
Level 5

I am installing 21.1 on top of 18 on Windows 10. Or I guess I am upgrading 18.

I downloaded the VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 MULTILINGUAL.

I also downloaded VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 PATCH 64. 

Do I need to install the patch on top of the 21.1 Multilingual?  THere are a lot of "instructions" about downloading but not why or what.

Thanks,

BJB

1. Fresh-install VSR 21.1
Please install using VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 MULTILINGUAL.

2. Upgrade from VSR 16/VSR 18 to VSR 21.1
Please upgarde using VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 MULTILINGUAL.

3. Upgrade from VSR 21 to VSR 21.1
Please upgrade using either VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 PATCH 64 or VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 MULTILINGUAL. Both files are upgradable from VSR 21 to VSR 21.1.

<Descrption>
VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 PATCH 64 should be used only when upgrading from VSR 21 to VSR21.1.
When upgrading via VxUpdate (Veritas Update), VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 PATCH 64 is automatically downloaded and installed. Because VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 PATCH 64 has an only feature to replaces the existing VSR 21 files with VSR 21.1 files. That is, the patch file is used only when upgrading in the same version like 21.x to 21.y. (x < y)

VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 MULTILINGUAL has all files to fresh-install.
VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 MULTILINGUAL can be used when fresh-installing or upgrading from the old version or the same version like VSR16/18/21 to VSR 21.1. After upgrading, all existing job settings are kept.
 
As the results, VERITAS System Recovery 21.1 MULTILINGUAL is always available under all situations.
