Twice installation of Athens 12.1 Patch 1

[shineworld 86]

I alternate with a colleague of mine in development with Athens on the same PC.
As soon as Athens 12.1 patch 1 came out, I installed it using the manual procedure.
Yesterday my colleague continued working on the same PC, and not knowing that I had already installed the patch manually, he also applied it with Get It, as he saw it in the list of possible updates.

Now I find myself with two ways of installing the same patch and I wonder if this may lead to problems in the proper functioning of the environment.

I would like to avoid re-installing the whole package and the 20 or so third-party libraries we use from scratch.

Any idea whether we have "broken" the toy ?

I don't think there will be a problem unless you plan to uninstall the patch at a later time. In that case Getit would try to restore the files saved during installation and this may fail.

But this is just a guess based upon what I know how the installation works.
