I'm getting an infinite install loop. Installed the CAB, ran the program, it downloads and installs a new version. Start that, and it downloads and installs a new version. Etc

EDIT: Also, please put the link in Start Menu\Programs, not Start Menu itself !

So it keeps asking you to redownload and install the latest apptodate or a different app?

Oddness, as i'm running the same version (as is tsutton who also hasn't mentioned this issue).

Which device and which language / regional settings?

I think Chainfire is misunderstanding as I did earlier.

Chainfire mentions it is actually DOWNLOADING, rather than just listing.

Chainfire - will check shortcut location, should be in Programs!

Ok, first, this is what happened in more detail:

1. Download CAB to PC
2. Copy CAB to device
3. Install CAB
4. Run AppToDate (again, please move the shortcut to the Programs submenu)
5. Without clicking anything, i.e., this runs automatically if I start AppToDate:
"Checking for 1 Update"
6. "An update is available for AppToDate that must be installed before you can continue!"
7. Click "OK"
8. Automatic download and install of new AppToDate version. GOTO 4.

Device is unbranded original HTC TyTN II, regional settings set to Netherlands/Dutch, but device language is English.

(which will also move the start menu link - hadn't noticed this as my start menu is full so it gets bumped automagically).

As I was running the earlier version, Ive just launched the app:

1) App to date is out of date and must be updated first ... click ok to download update.
2) Update downloads
3) Update says it will remove old version before installing new version
4) New version installs.

Excellent ... working fine, and as I would have expected !!

However ... as a user who had just launched a program, would it not be wise to:
1) Launch app to date
2) find out it is out of date, and update itself
3) relaunch itself so the user may continue what they were originally going to do.

Or is step 3 awkward to achieve?

Also ... I wonder ... is it worthwhile seeing if the app can be selected to auto-run at sync time. So if this is the only time a user connects their pocket PC, it will also update then, as well as manually running it?

Yes, the act of connecting to a PC could launch the app and sync!

It'd also make sense to relaunch apptodate after updating itself, noted.

So i have a different problem.... some might say many

I have downloaded and installed the cab (to both the storage card and device - neither works).
The Cab installs, and an AppToDate icon appears in programs...

I run it an get an error...
There are a number of details but essentially the problem seems to be a NullReferanceException.

I am running TLR's cooked ROM on a Vario III

Suggestions on a postcard please
