The bottom of my screen has a click to update ...but it won't update and it crashes.

%1 is not a valid win32 application.
Boolean startWithShellExecuteEx(System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo)

also, if i try and run osume.exe it won't run and says invalid win32 app, but the shortcut thing works.

Please try redownloading osume! It sounds like your version is corrupt for some reason.

Also, what do you mean by the "shortcut thing"?

Peppy, are you using nonstandard subroutining to call that program? Just curious, I'm not cutting down your design process or anything (in fact, the updater's amazing.)

There is osume.exe which DOESN'T work
and there is osu!.exe which does.

Anywho, redowning.

Raine - I am currently not satisfied with the checking of files I do after downloading them - this will be improved in the near future.

But for now, redownloading the file from herewill do fine :).

Naph - For starting the applications from each other? These are just standard Process.Start() calls. I do have a bit of extra code setup to handle this and ensure nothing goes wrong (duplicate processes etc.), but i don't think I use any "nonstandard subroutining" :lol:

Sorry, I sometimes use unnecessarily large words :mrgreen: I just didn't think that Process.Start() gave bool-related errors. Maybe it's just that I haven't tinkered with .Net lately.
peppy
The boolean part is the return type of the internal method that is attempting to start the process. The actual error being thrown is that the target application is not a valid app, which causes an early exit (due to the exception being unhandled) and never returns that boolean.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the enlightenment. 8-)
