Title: Update partially fails if the help file is open
Post by: FutureCow on 2009-Apr-17
I had the chm helpfile open when my GLBasic was updated last night. As a result, the update of the compiler worked, but it said that it couldn't overwrite the helpfile.
When I do a manual update now it tells me I'm running the latest version, but I would be using the old version of the helpfile.

I know I can use the link you posted a few days ago for me to update manually, but I thought I'd list the bug so you have it for future updates.
Is it possible to have the update ensure the GUI and helpfile are closed first as part of its process like Firefox does?

FYI : The version file that opened after the update only had the changes up to v 6.206 in it, it didn't list the changes for 6.217 or 6.222 even though my compiler version is showing as 6.222.

When updating, GLBasic makes a backup zip of the replaced files in the program directory. Restore Editor.exe and re-update.

All good, and this time the log file shows the changes up to v6.222.
Thanks Gernot!!!
