[Dev-C++] Bug with integrated web updater

[seb_kramm <seb...@ya...>]

Hello,
I am encountering something strange about the integrated Web Updater.

I have ver 4.9.9.1 and want to upgrade to 4.9.9.2. After connecting to the default 
server (planetmirror.com), I can select the update (941kb), and download it. I then 
try to install it, and I get a message like:
"Devcpp is currently open, close it first and retry"

(Well, of course it's open, since I'm currently using the embedded update module...)

So, nevermind, I close DevCpp, but I can still not install it: the same dialog box 
keeps popping in ("Devcpp is currently open,..."). If I hit "Abandon", I get then 
another message box that says "self updating" with a error sign, OK button, that's it.
But nothing changed, still 4.9.9.1... (checked)

(Of course, I made sure I had no other instance open...)

So here are the questions:

-Where (path) is the downloaded package stored before installation. It's not that 
it's too big, but I just hate using bandwith for something I already have on my HD.
Is it the file "DevCpp.Update" that appeared, just about 942 kb ...?

- If it is, how do I use (install) it ? Just rename to .exe ? Pass it to 
"updater.exe" ? Maybe it could be an idea giving some clues about that in the devcpp 
online help...

- Am I the only one to have problems with that, or is it a known bug ?

This is not the first time I have problems to update DevCpp, previously, I silently 
downloaded the entire package on bloodshed.net, but this time I thought I might tell 
about it, cause I think it is a great functionality, it works fine for updating other 
things than the devcpp kernel.


Thanks to the team.
