Anyone else ending up with a dud version of GLB after getting latest update?

I have/had the full release version of 7 installed, and I just clicked on the update button.  It connects, downloads the update, but when I click on the "Finish" button nothing happens.  No disk activity nothing.  It just quits back to the desktop.  Then if I go to run GLB manually,  I get the following message instead of a running program:
"C:\Program Files\GLBasic\EditorE.exe
This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

So, I uninstalled GLB, reinstalled it and then did update again and exactly the same thing happened.  Anyone else have this or is it just me?

Yes, there are two problems :

The editor doesn't always close when the update starts
On Vista, I get the following error :

It looks like VS 2008 Redist is needed...

Dont update to 7.082 yet.

If you need the rc2 again, it is linked on the main website.

the full download from the main site is 7.078 and is not a release candidate anymore...

Correct.

Actually its the second release candidate.

I had the rc1 version posted, sorry.

I reinstalled rc2 myself, it works.

I can't web-update from v7.071 from inside GLBasic (posts on the forum suggest that there are several updates over this). Have I got the latest release candidate? If not can someone post a link please?

Gernot, can you please make a sticky in ANNOUNCEMENTS or even a proper UPDATE thread with the latset release/update for GLBasic. It'll make searching for links to updates a thing of the past.

Thankyou. :)

Hi mate, the latest version is 7.085.

You've got release candidate 1 installed.  I dont think it will allow you to update to the full version (mine didnt and I dont think Ive ever had a GLB release candidate do so) -- so I'm afraid you need to download the full version again from the website.

So download full version, uninstall old version (I recommend deleting the directory to make sure as well after you've uninstalled it), install new version.  Plus you will need the updated version of the Visual C runtime mentioned in this thread otherwise it wont work.

From the log file:
