XY Update script (ahk) doesn't get the 7.30 betas

Hi,

I'm using an AutoHotKey script that was posted a while ago to grab the latest beta and install it. It grabs the latest beta from http://www.xyplorer.com/latestbeta.php, which still seems to point to 7.20.0026.

Is there something that I need to do to get this to grab the latest 7.30.xxxx beta?

Thanks!

andy

In that prior thread (http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?t=1487), I found this post by Don:

admin wrote:This URL redirects to the URL of the latest BETA (the "noinstall" version) (if I remember to update it on each official release ). It should work with the script (I did not try though).
http://www.xyplorer.com/latestbeta.php

BUT: it might not be such a good idea to automate the BETA upgrading because once in a while there is an important thing to READ in the accompanying change log before you run the BETA...

So it appears that Don forgot to bump that 'redirect', as I have to do also in blog and wikipedia, and I've forgotten to do those myself on occasion

...so until Don adjusts it, maybe you can temporarily substitute and use the actual "noinstall" file URL instead? At least for duration of 7.30.xxx...which would be http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplor ... nstall.zip

Oops. Done.

BUT, true that it can't be recommended. Reading the change log before is important!
