I couldn't update using the immediately previous version of CleverUpdate and was initially frustrated at the link given for the latest version not working.

Simple solution though. Link as given links to http://http.arianesoft.ca/Downloads/CleverUpdateSetup.exe.

instead of

http://www.arianesoft.ca/Downloads/CleverUpdateSetup.exe.

Thanks Alain for all the hard work. The above no doubt reflects long hours put in.

I have yet to see how I actually get on with the new version.

(Incidentally, I see that the preview of this post shows the URLs with "..." inserted in place of some characters in both URLs, even though the URLs were entered accurately. Puzzling. I shall see if in the actual post the URLs are garbled. )

I have fixed the link, sorry I thought it was fixed but somehow the old link (not the text) remained wrong.

We have managed to screwed up again! :( The setup files were not uploaded to our servers, only the update definitions files, so it looks like the new setup files are available in CleverUpdate but it is in fact the old ones. We have uploaded the new setup files, please redownload the files from CleverUpdate, we have also fixed our automated build procedure so this does not happen again.

Hope this will be our last screw up with PPL 2.

We are dedicated to our products and will make sure PPL 2.1 is working on your computers as it does for us and our beta testers.
