Hi Aaron
Ouch. Why would that be hard-coded like this? What happens then if, for
example, I make an app for a certain piece of software and need to host
it somewhere else, then another individual makes an app for the same
software, uses different techniques and version numbers, and puts it on
app central or visa versa? Couldn't that cause a conflict? Why not use
app central by default but allow packages to override this if necessary?

I think it uses the uninstall info in the uninstall folder in your
config folder to do its version checking. I could be wrong about
this, though.
Actually, the Add/Remove Packages check for updates routine gets all
app information (version, file size, update url, etc.) from App
Central (review the App Get code for a similar technique). This is
hard coded in Window-Eyes.
