[Dev-C++] Manual Upgrades / Downloads

[Robert Z. <rza...@ya...>]

Hey All,
     I've heard it mentioned a few times on the list that some of us
are having problems with the upgrade program for dev-cpp.  I think we
all wanted to get a newer release too, but as of right now we can't.  I
never saw a reply so I was curious, what gives, it's been 2 months and
that seems a bit long for an open source project.
     When I tried vUpdate it said the devcpp.cfg file is missing the
SBIN field.  I went ahead and searched my system for the file, but I
couldn't find anything by that name.  I played around, uninstalled and
reinstalled.  The initial configuration screen popped up a few times at
random, not at first run after install, but just randomly.  Said it
would drop the configuration file in some folder of my user's
document's and settings (sorry I didn't write down which) but I didn't
find anything.  I want to say I was the administrator or main user when
I ran that as well.  well, I guess that's about it.  
     So, If there's any work around or anything I can do, let me
know.  If I can manually build a cfg file, and try dropping it in a few
spots until it's found, maybe that'll work.  Does anyone have the
updater working on XP?  Also is there any way we can manually grab
updates to see if it's working.  Finally, thanks allot for the time you
spend in working on this.  I find Dev-cpp very useful and appreciate
your work on it allot.

Take Care,
     Robert Zaleski

I have WinXP Home and have had no problems using Vupdate since it was fixed.

Just to make sure I checked for new updates and am in the process of
updating from 4.9.7.5 to 4.9.7.6.

The update download completed without error. I have some problem with a file
when I installed to a new directory that I have not been able to resolve and
have to manually run the new packages. There was an issue with the file in
the user folder on NT kernel systems, and I think it is related to that,
unless there is something in the registry. I just have not made the time to
fix it, since my C++ learning/development time is currently a "back-burner"
project.

HTH,
