Change: Delete, if exists, .cfg_new before file writting out new build path.
Change: Copying of subfolders root checked before copytree.
Change: Tidied up some debug logging.

Would be nice to add a feature to run the Maintain delete script whenever the user wanted incase of a faulty install. I've had numerous times where everything goes as planned then only half of the xbmc files get copied over due to "Extraction path not found" and I have to manually copy them over and then manually strip the build to my liking.

to be clear: You want to be able to run the 'excludes/deletes' as a menu item against the new installation ?
How would it know which folder to perform against? select one or match it against an existing rar file?

A better option would be to select a folder, an easier implementation would be to choose off of the rar.

It can be implemented.
My main concern is, if the new installation has failed (for whatever reason) I don't see how performing the deletes and/or includes operation in isolation would be better than deleting the bad install and doing it all again ? How does doing a few additional deletes/copies make a failed install good?
What is this copy failure you mentioned, and does it happen with v1.7.2 ?

It happens with 1.7.2. What happens is I have the default settings of T3CH upgrader except some added maintain/copies and go from E:/Apps/T3CH_2008-08-25 and do everything via script. I switch to PM III/Use 4:3 resolution (for RAM) reboot the xbox to clear ram, start T3CH upgrader, it downloads, extracts then errors and says directory not available E:/Apps/T3CH_2008-09-01 then stops. I verify manually, that the directory does exist and has about 8 folders copied into it and the new xbmc.cfg and xbe have been created. It says Installation complete, do you want to reboot, I click yes. Then I have to boot into my chip to add the remaining files via ftp.
here are my Upgrader settings:
{'notify_when_not_new': u'Yes', 'check_script_update_startup': u'Yes', 'prompt_del_rar': u'Yes', 'shortcut_drive': 'C:\\', 'transfer_userdata': u'Yes', 'dash_shortcut_name': 'xbmc', 'unrar_path': 'E:\\apps'}

ok, best thing to help me find the problem is if you can enable xbmc debug then send me a xbmc.log (to my email - see readme)
also send your includes and excludes files (in userdata too)
then I'll get back to you.

Well, if it occurs next build I'll post a debug log, this time I can't because it worked. That's how things usually happen.
