v5.0.0.18: Fix auto updater in XP

Posted on 01:11 by Unknown
During testing a few hours ago I noticed the auto-update was failing in some XP installations. Specifically, it would appear to stall at the end of the download. The actual problem was with use of the shell API that resolves common filesystem paths.

It worked in testing of other environments, and had previously worked in XP until a change apparently broke it. Thus I simply missed this in testing until now. Yes, I don't stop testing even after final release. As I've said elsewhere, there is nothing that kicks me into high gear like the pressure of a new final.

So, this build fixes the updater, BUT it will not start working until the *next* update after this one because this build contains the fix.

This should be the last fix to the automatic updater. Now I can begin issuing updates like a crazy person ;p.

This build will be available in the next few minutes, it is building now.
