Beta: 1.5.2 through the integrated update functions

[PepiMK]

Update through the integrated updater is already available as beta through the update function. Didn't fully work when the Spybot-S&D main application was kept open while updating, and shows two messages to restart at the end. The later will be fixed later today or tomorrow.

If anyone has noticed other problems using this beta update (beta being the update process, not the installed version ), please let us know.

Please tell us, if we can use the new way of updating spybotsd without "beta"-problems.

Hope you're not asking me, but all the other people who've read, but not answered

Since I posted here to get exactly the feedback you were asking for - if anyone has noticed problems using this method. There was not a single feedback about it yet, even though even 1.5.1 offered this update method labeled as beta as well.

Does this mean no one has encountered problems, or that no one has posted problems?

(it's really very basic, the update just downloads a regular installer and runs that, so after the file has been downloaded it's the same as if you would have downloaded the regular full installation)

With no further feedback, I guess we'll bring this update public on Wednesday then.

It is nice to hear this.

So we are looking forward to the update on wednesday.


P.S. "Kölle allaf" ;-)

Is this the feature where when I fetched updates using 1.4, 1.5 was downloaded and tried to install itself?

How can I prevent this from happening when I update my other system using 1.4. Is there a listed update I should uncheck in the update list.

It's listed in the regular updates, yes. The entry is called Main update 1.5.2, and if you right-click it, you can set the update to ignore it.
Wouldn't recommend it on the long run though, more and more detection things need 1.5.
