yes, just missed one line. See check in 2 minutes.

forgot to add url for official version n the script: grab latest version from first page.

or simply add this in the //Download Official release section of the script.: edit: removed attachment, get newest version from first page.

Fixed it, I'm up to date now!

Did I already say that this is a nice little script?

Actually, you can *always* use a url in the form of http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplor ... nstall.zip to download the latest possible XY build, be it a beta or a new stable/major.

True that the latest official release is same as last beta. But i like to grab the one from official site rather than beta club because the version number of XYplorer.exe is not the same for the beta and official version.

Serendipity,

care to explain the purpose of the ping-statement? Is it to delay the unzip action?

Thanks,

Yes, it pings local host 5 times, I don't know any other way to wait inside command prompt.
I took this line from Jacky's script.
Actually, I already knew it. Just happen to see that Jacky used it too.

Didn't know that there's no "wait". Strange this is ....

Hi serendipity, Thanks for the input on tweaking SimpleUpdater so that it doesn't save the configuration. Everything works fine.

I was wondering though if the script could be taken a step further such that it grabs the registration number from XYplorer, inputs it in Help / Update Registration Details... and then does a restart. I've been playing around making attempts to do that with not much luck...still a noob, unfortunately. I was able to get the registration number using: and command #725 opens the update registration screen, but I can't input the "key" into the window. The window opens with the cursor on the "name" so we would have to tab into the "key" block and then paste it in, hit enter and restart. Would this or maybe should I ask could this be done using setkey after getkey as oppose to opening the "Update Registration Details..." screen? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been looking at the jackie original post (very complex - not simple) for a XYplorer updater http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2886 updated recently by drewkeller.

What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

I don't understand, you update registration details before every update?

Hey again serendipity, "after" an update, I get the following or something similar in the title bar, "XYplorer v10.60 updated from v10.50.0023". Isn't that the case with everyone's Titlebar after an update whether it's a beta or not? I then have to go into the Help / Update Registration Details and input the serial number "key" and do a restart, and then the title bar changes to "XYplorer v11.60". If you go back to my first post, I think this is why I was confused as to why your script stopped before this happens. It is a bit of a pain since I have to retrieve the "key" from the XYplorer.ini file. I have a Pro Lifetime license. Is there something in the configuration or a setting / tweak that that I'm not aware of that would get me out of having to do these steps everytime I do an update? Is your key automatically input so you don't have to go through this or does that title message change (to simply "XYplorer v10.60" depending on your settings) automatically when you restart?

Thanks,
Ken

Does that "updated from x.xx.xxxx" part of title bar bother you THAT much? I barely even notice it and it's gone the next time you start XY anyway so...
