[Dev-C++] How to update beyond 4980? (vUpdate is barking at me)

[Doug M. <dou...@al...>]

Hi all,

Running WinXP, SP1.  I just uninstalled my exe-only dev-c++ and replaced 
it with the full version with mingw c/c++.  Beyond configuring the 
compilation tools, I haven't used it yet.

Thought I'd update using "Tools->Check for Updates/Packages...", but 
vUpdate v1.616 comes up with the error

* Error: Your devcpp.cfg file is missing
          the $INCLUDE field in its
          [VUPDATE] section...
] Ready, hit check mark to begin...

and, of course, the check mark button does nothing.

Nor does it help to set the options differently, e.g., to the "Default", 
which sets check boxes to list everything it finds at the update site.

There's no devcpp.cfg anywhere in my computer.  Should there be?  Is 
there a dev-c++ feature that should set that up for me?

Thanks in advance

Doug
