Well, the first thing is that 4.5 and 4.6 shouldn't (AFAIK) be in the 

same folder. The Cycling74 folder (externals etc) now resides inside 

the Max folder, rather than in App Support. You'll need to move or 

copy your 3rd party exts & help files into the new folder. (Well, you 

could point 4.6 to the existing folders, but I think it would be 

neater to put everything in the same place.)

If you have duplicate objects, I would just look at the modification 

date and see which are the most recent, and delete the others.

If you mix both installs without reading the docs about the differences 

(also many times discussed on the list), you should expect and get desaster.

Best is to reinstall 4.5.7 and 4.6.2 to the default locations then you 

will have both versions available... (Trash your mixed-up chaos install
