I am currently running v4.0.4. I can check if there is an update available - there is, v4.0.5 - but I see no means to update from within the program, as I have always done in the past. Is it intended to go to the Website to download the updated version? I don't have 'automatic' updating enabled, much prefer to do it my own time.
If you click "Check for Update", it will launch the updater tool. At the bottom of the release notes, there is an "Install" button. If you click that, it will launch the installer. I pushed out 4.0.6 this morning. I should add that the automatic updater for 4.0.4 has one remaining issue - the installer will have to kill the updater tool, because it won't close on its own (it's incorrectly waiting for the installer to finish). That is fixed with 4.0.5+.

Thanks Mike - I missed the 'Install' button as it was at the bottom of a long list and off the screen. Perhaps it would be better to place it at the top? It didn't occur to me to scroll through list of stuff I already knew about.
I think what I'll do is make the button take up the entire width of the dialog, be about 50 pixels tall, with a blue background and white text (so the whole bottom of the dialog). This will make it very obvious as it draws your eye to it.

I'm not sure that is the right solution. My point was that, being at the bottom of a long list of updates, the 'Install' button was off the screen. Unless the user scrolled through the list, they wouldn't see it - which is exactly why I missed it. I still think it would be better to move the 'Install' button to the top of the page.
Hello updated version 4.06 super change compared to the old version.
Thanks
I've updated the code to automatically check the screen height and if the dialog is off the screen, it will shrink itself down to fit to ensure the button is off the screen. That coupled with the change I made will ensure it's easy to see what to click to update.

Sounds good to me, thanks Mike
