Website looks good. Slick looking. Had problems downloading the app due to the fact i have so many script blockers it took me turning them all of to see the EULA. Im not a fan of this obfuscation of direct download links.
"remember to set your XBMC path in 'xbmcupdate.exe.confg' ". Not clear if this is the folder path or full path including EXE. Worth inserting an example.
Batch files or shortcuts or the like should be included to perform the two update types. Keep users away from the command line, most never use it.
I cannot actually get the app to run. I am guessing it needs something like .NET but there are no requirements listed and the error message is one of the unhelpful "Application failed to initialize" types. Assuming I am correct it should detect missing dependencies.
No log files were created to report this problem against.
Personally I would make it an installer and put the EULA in there.
Excellent work so far
great comments, completely agree with all of them,
i'll take care of them tomorrow since its 1:00am and i have to get up tomorrow morning,
the only thing i can't change is the website, that's provided by codeplex.com the opensource project hosting service.
