These are also the current versions on the rsync server. Steve, if
yours are older you sure may want to sync your runtimes.
Our installer uses runtimes current as of the build date. I don't have
access to the Windows build box ATM to double-check, but it would be
nice if third party plug-in authors would keep ftp.vim.org current.
They do. But some users omit deleting obsolete files no longer on server when
they download the new versions. See further down.
Although (in my previous email) I understood that simply file-copying
a new version of vimball wouldn't necessarily fix my problem? Does it
actually have to be uninstalled, including it's preference file?
At one point (I'm not sure when) the netrw plugin was split to take advantage
of the new "autoload" mechanism. The name of the global plugin was also
changed from plugin/netrw.vim to plugin/netrwPlugin.vim. I haven't followed
the vimball plugin as closely but (looking at the above) the case looks
similar. If an old plugin (with the old name) was left behind beside the new
one, you're in trouble.
Since you have cygwin on your build system (don't you?), maybe you could use a
cygwin version of rsync to synchronise the runtime/ sibling of your src/
directory from the Vim server *with delete* to ensure that obsolete files are
removed? Of course, I don't know how to set the nullsoft installer to check
for "obsolete files which must be removed if present". Maybe any
$VIMRUNTIME/*.vim not in the installer's embedded archive?
The command I use is:
rsync -avzcP --delete --exclude="/dos/" ftp.nluug.nl::Vim/runtime/ ./runtime/
Best regards,
Tony.

Oh, how do I know my youth is all spent?
