Please help with proper update version

I'm receiving update notifications. It's obvious I'm way out of date. But could someone possibly point me to the proper update from version 2.0.13.1 (2.0.16)?

TIA

My understanding is that you can use the 2.0.16 package to update...... see this FAQ.

Please ask again if you are uncertain of anything.

Edit:
If you are receiving notifications then perhaps your web-host is using "Fantastico" or some such. My advice is update the installation manually yourself using your FTP client.

It is sure that your web host use Fantastico; you must to know that I received that advices althougt I use 2.0.16 version, only because I used Fantastico for to install 2.0.15 and after I did the update by ftp.
Perhaps you could update by Fantastico without problems

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the prompt help.

Even though XOOPS was installed originally through Fantastico it does not allow updates other than manually.

John, I'll follow the link you provided and let you know how that works out.

David suggested in pm that I use the full install. In doing the full install will I lose any content I've already created?

Again, thank you for helping me work through my issues.

In theory, no

But take a backup of your site, including the database just in case. "Sod's Law" applies in cases like this
