Re: cuckoo clock laptop problem still happening

Chip,
    Renamed the original, inserted the new files, uploaded it then the GW Micro 
site went down. I am not sure if it made it before the crash or not because I 
can not test until the site is up again.

  Hi Chip,

      It is not too hard to fix, just have to go back to the one I renamed as 
32 and put it back to the name, and go from there.
      I was wondering if that would happen because I get tired of the packing 
placing the web where I can not find it and decided to do this not thinking it 
would use the original name and not the new one.
      I think that should be address as a change for the packaging manager 
because after all when you save it, it asks for a name. In other words, if 
someone changes the name when saving, you have essentially created a nightmare 
just like we have.

      So, someone has to modify the packaging manager to reflect this save for 
it is actually not doing what you told it to do.

    Bruce,

     

    The problem with the update is that the package name internal to the .wepm 
file for version 3.2 is cuckoo_clock_32, while the internal package name for 
the .wepm file for version 3.3 is just cuckoo_clock, so WE and appGet is seeing 
it as two different packages.

     

    And, this is indeed what happened to me: when I installed version 3.3 it 
did not uninstall version 3.2, leaving me with two copies running.

     

    This is going to be a hard one to fix.

     

    Chip

    Hi Chip,

     

        I tried replying to this email and it was sent back, saying it was too 
long. So I had to delete all other stuff before this email.

     

        I had noticed that last night when updating my Windows 7 computer that 
the cuckoo clock was not listed for update. 

        I also checked and discovered the flag for notifying others is in fact 
checked at the web site end. Don't know why, but apparently that check box is 
not working, at least for the cuckoo Clock app.

     

        I guess I will have to write to Aaron and see what is going on.

     

            Sincerely

            Bruce

      Thanks Bruce.

       

      You may want to ask GW for some help with your update, for whatever 
reason, but Window-Eyes through the add/remove apps dialog, and when using 
apGet, neither of these show your latest upload as an update to the cuckoo 
clock program.  I don't have any ideas as to what is causing this, but to try 
to see it for yourself, reinstall your 3.2 version and then use WE or appGet to 
see if there are updates.

       

      This means though, assuming it's happening to everyone, that people won't 
be made aware that you've updated the program.

       

      Thanks.

       

      Chip
