    After downloading 0.9.3 and installing it and running it for the first time the app shows that it's version 0.8.6-beta, when I got under the About -> Bitcoin it shows version 0.8.6-beta. If this is normal how does one know they have 0.9.3? If it's not normal please update bitcointalk.org with how to fix it.

    Thanks,

    I am in a similar boat. I upgraded last night but the client crashed. When I restarted the upgrade process it finished. Upon launching the client it said that it needed to finish reindexing the blocks. About shows - 0.8.6-beta. Win7x64

    Also, is it possible for the upgrade to transfer the coins out to a "safe" address if something goes wrong? My coins were transferred out but I am not ruling out a malware issue. If anyone could clarify that for me please.

    I figured out my issue. I had bitcoin installed ages ago and was pretty sure I uninstalled but but I guess not. What I was doing was opening the 32bit version, as soon as I opened the 64bit version I could the 0.9.3

    The now real issue is in 0.9.3 for windows x64 doesn't have an address book. I can't see my addresses, so I wanted to send someone bitcoins I would basically be screwed because I can't retrieve my wallet ID.

    I sent as a set some bitcoin from another wallet to my bitcoin one (the same ID I had in the 32bit one) and coins are coming in but everything is kept secret I can't see where it's coming from. When I try to add my ID back to the 0.9.3 it comes back and say that Wallet ID is already in your address book. (which I can't see).

    Bug? I don't know.. but you shouldn't be stopping people from seeing their Wallet ID's.

    As we introduced a x64 build, you should perhaps save wallet and settings, uninstall old version and afterwards install 0.9.3.

    Address book is available under the "File" menu in 0.9.x.
