I've figured out what's happening with the webupdate for the classdesigner.
When I run classdesigner.py as the first thing after install I get the message about this appears to be the first time running Dabo do you want to check for updates? If I click yes at this point the webupdate runs and exits out very quickly. It displays a message Dabo has been updated. Some debug output shows Project names: [] So it's not checking anything for an update. Then when I run classdesigner a second time I get the message: Updates are available for Dabo. Do you want to update now? I click yes. Debug output now shows Project names: ['Dabo'] Proj ver: Dabo 4972 Then I get the message when its done: Dabo has been updated to revision 5105. The app will now exit. Please re-run the application. When I run classdesigner now I get the AttributeError about the CxnFile and it won't run. I'm able to successfully update the class designer if when I first run it and get the message about this being the first time I've run Dabo do I want to check for updates, I click on No. Then I go to the Preferences->WebUpdates and click on Check Now. I get the message: Updates are available for Class Designer and Dabo. Do you want to update now? I click yes and my debug output shows, Project names: ['Class Designer', 'Dabo'] It finishes the webupdate and shows the message: Dabo has been updated to revision 5105. The app will now exit. Please re-run the application. I click OK and manually close the application. When I run class designer it opens fine with no error messages. I can reproduce both scenarios reliably now. It would be nice to be able to have a separate application that would check for updates. That way if the classdesigner or any other application is not updated when the framework is updated and then subsequently it can't be run, one could still run the update application to update the classdesigner or other application. If you do have a way of running the webupdate for an application without it loading completely I'd be interested to know.

Is that correct? When I downloaded the file ://dabodev.com/frameworkVersions/changedFiles/dem/0 and looked at it I tried to pull up some of the files it's pointing to. I was able to pull up anything I tried except the ones that were at the top of the list and began appRecipes.

If the preference for auto-running the Web Update check is not defined, it is assumed that it is the first time that you are running the app. If you decline web update, it remembers that preference; you can go into the preferences dialog to change that at any time. But once you say you don't want Dabo to check for updates, it won't; the only way to see if there are updates would be to click the "Check now..." button in the pref dialog. > If I delete somepath\dabo or rename it and > expand the contents of the downloaded zip file to somepath\dabo again, > shouldn't it be just like starting over as far as dabo is concerned? No, since the preferences are persisted. Paul has already explained how to deal with that. > The permissions error I was getting before is restricted to just the > dabodemo application when I try to run web update.

I have no idea why you were getting a permissions error; the only cases where that should happen is if a) the files were in a folder that you could not write to, or b) you had one or more files opened in another app (say, an editor) and Windows couldn't overwrite them. > The one time I was able to update the classdesigner and have it open > again was the following.

Once you have it updated, there is no reason to go back, and lots of reasons not to go back. -- Ed Leafe [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/[email protected]
