My connection speed is DSL 20Mb down and yes, windows update works perfectly here.

I am running Swedish Vista and it works perfectly!

It was ran with admin rights and i got nothing on C:\

I don't know if it could help but i'm using MIP and it's auto-updater works fine on my HTPC.
Perhaps you can see with Fekker how he do it since he's using .Net (think so).

i guess you did not get the topic?

i don't think MIP updates the xbmc binaries Wink

back to topic again:

i tried this second, and it worked like a charm on my german version of vista x64.. (i might add i disabled UAC)

the only thing i wondered about was that it told me it will be downloading around 50mb and did ony about 23mb or so. beside this, all was very intuitive and worked as supposed to - i'm now on build 19820.

still missing a "make a backup first" and a "restore previous version" button in case the downloaded data is corrupt/ connection is broken while downloading or some functions not working anymore in xbmc. the updater to me is perfect when all goes well but should be able to handle such exceptions so nobody will render his xbmc installation useless when updating with this tool.

excellent work so far!

I got the topic, i was just trying to help solving the issue with the downloading.
Since MIP updater also dowload a file, it could be a solution (it uses wget on windows).
UAC is disabled on my computer so that's not the problem.

Can you test again with this updated version ... http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=e61ef9fbe38c54a46e7203eb87368129e04e75f6e8ebb871

It will download to the current directory instead of C:\


- Shadok - 2009-05-01

Testing on my computer (Vista Ultimate 64) and it's working.
I'll test on my HTPC (Vista 32) in a few minutes.


- Shadok - 2009-05-01

Something's strange.
It works under Vista 64 (french) and not with Vista 32 (French too).
Both have the same .Net parts installed, UAC/Firewall disabled, Kasersky AV and are up to date (and internet access of course).

This time, i have a file on my HTPC. It wasn't the case last time.


- Shadok - 2009-05-01

Forget my last post, it's working on my HTPC too.


- CrashX - 2009-05-01

hmm .. the only differences between two version of Downloader App is that one stores in C:\ while the other stores in your current directory ..

Is XBMC updater installed on C:\ ? Can you try it running it from E:\ ? Make sure you are running as Administrator as well ..


- Shadok - 2009-05-01

XBMC Updater is installed on my HTPC which has only one partition and one drive (CSmile.
I'm running with the administrator account so no problem here.

The test on E: was on my PC.


- Shadok - 2009-05-01

I may have an idea.
With Vista, you have some localized folder names like Downloads (Téléchargements in French), so maybe the special characters you can have in some language are responsible for the problem, even if the localized name is just an alias.


- CrashX - 2009-05-01

Yup but i am not using those folders hence it shouldn't matter ..

Try running my Downloader App within the XBMC Updater directory ..


- Shadok - 2009-05-01

XBMC updater is in : C:\Program Files\XBMC\Update.
So I put your app in C:\Program Files\XBMC\DownloadMain.

Code:
C:\Program Files\XBMC\DownloadMain>DownloadMain "http://danielpatton.com/user-accounts/XBMC-updates/XBMC-Rev19569.zip" test.zip

But I have a temporary file with the right size.
If i rename it to something.zip, the file isn't valid.


- Shadok - 2009-05-01

I just switched Kaspersky off and it seems to be working.
This is strange since i have it on my 2 computers and it worked on the first one.
I'll look into it to see if there's a difference in the settings.
