Simple single EXE file update wanted.
I just hate this ZIP unpacking and then finding which to click next - being lectured about unpacking-
at the same time both AVG and the M$ virus programs must be bypassed because this is legacy software.
I have no clue what was resolved previously.
Does this not make sense to anybody except me?

Re: Simple EXE file update wanted
you want XY to automatically extract an installer archive and run the installer? This can be scripted, but won't be 100% successful.

Somehow all other companies seem to have this ability.
Thanks for at least having an interest in the subject.

Why not simply use Help | Online Support | Check for Updates? No unzipping involved, all automatic.

(ooh, so just XY update? I assumed you were arbitrary software setup archives. As Don has said above, XY updates are now buttery smooth.)

Were you previously running a version older than 17.40 by any chance? (self-update was added at that [major] version).
But now that you're on 18.60, update installs will definitely be automatic.
When a new version is released, just do Main menu > Help > Online Support > Check for Updates
You can also update to the latest beta version: Hold CTRL and click that menu item. (Betas are released more frequently -- so you won't have to wait too long to test out the update feature.)
