Update problem
« on: January 03, 2025, 10:26:28 »
Hi, the following problem keeps recurring:

Press start to begin update process.
Checking if newer version exists.
Downloading : /multicommander.com/updates/version.xml
Version information received.
Downloading new version of MultiUpdate...
Downloading : /multicommander.com/files/updates/MultiUpdate_(1.9.1.0).zip
The update file "MultiUpdate" is downloaded...
Unpacking....
Unziping "C:\Users\Frank\AppData\Local\Temp\MultiUpdate_(1.9.1.0).zip" into "C:\Users\Frank\AppData\Local\Temp\_data_4706".
Failed to unpack...

Tried to unpack manually, then Run as administrator, nothing ever happened. If I decline update, everything works fine, until I need to use Commander again.
This is the point my knowledge ends :D I would like to ask for your kind help.
Thank you in advance for your assistance

Not sure what is going wrong for you if the download or unpacking of the file. can be that some security software stops it.
What it does is to update the update tool.
But you can download the file manually using the Link see there. the Multiupdate_(1.9.1.0).zip file contains just an .exe file
unpack that and replace it with the original exe file.

(You should not ignore it, since it can make future updates of MC fail, since they expect a newer version of the tool)
