If you would like to download the AppToDate BETA (and it should be very clearly stressed this is Beta atm!), then use the following CAB:
http://donald.modaco.com/apptodate/apptodate.cab AppToDate is, of course, self updating, so you should theoretically only need to download the CAB once!  For ROM chefs, there is also an OEM package that is updated in line with the main CAB: http://donald.modaco.com/apptodate/apptodate.oem.zip This is untested however (as I don't generally cook ROMs), so please let me know if it works P VERSION UPDATES 2.080625 - Fixed 'form disappears between check and display' - Fixed application name truncation - Removed description window to fullscreen view only - Added 'Free and Fun' 2.080428 - Fixed crash if saving list to Storage Card when it already exists - Added icon next to appname - developers, this is pulled from the same location as your XML, with same name but .ico instead of .xml! 2.080425 - Correct alphabetical ordering in update list - Support multiple dots in version details 2.080423 - Fixed Russian locale problem with version numbering - Enabled advanced CABurl profiles (install based on device, OS or resolution) - Added option to view description full screen - Added option to save CABs to SD for future install - Added ability Backup / Restore app list to SD for future easy reinstall - Support alternate XML locations (retrieved from registry), e.g. app's install directory - XHTML in description field now allowed (embedded browser rendering) - Non numerics in version number ignored - Bigger label for application name during download to support 2 lines - Autorun AppToDate after install (custom setup dll) - Delete 'AppToDate Install' link from Start Menu if found on launch - VistaIcons credit in about box - Improved cancel button handling - Improved icon appearance for VGA 2.080416 - Bug fix for ATD installed with no supporting apps 2.080415 - Internal updates 2.080414 - About Box with platform details display (to help test for next release) - Notifications support - Enabled stats collection - Improved cancel button handling - Removed test notification 2.080408 - User agent 'AppToDate' now set - Improved redraw speed - Progress bar no longer resets to 0 when regained focus - OK button no longer closes form - use cancel instead (input on UI here anyone?) - Use online description instead of local description 2.080404 - Fixed continuous update loop (for Dutch (Netherlands)) - Fixed scrollbar redraw issue 1.080329 - Initial Release SUPPORTED APPLICATIONS INCLUDE: ActiveKitten Chronos - details Athena Project ROM - details Athena Config App - details Birdsoft Extreme Agenda - details chucky.egg Nested Tasks - details DeveloperOne iFitOne - details FSD GSPlayer + Plugins HelloTwitFace - details iContact iProphet ROM - details MoDaCo .net CF Config - details MoDaCo CamerAware - details MoDaCo Diamond UK localisation MoDaCo Donate - details MoDaCo DupeDeDupe MoDaCo NoData - details Morose Media WMWifiRouter - details NGSMS2Call - details pocketMax PhoneAlarm Pro Polaris Project ROM Resco Explorer 2008 Rivia Gentimer Standard - details S2P S2U2 S2U2SettingsPlus SKMenu - details SKSchema SKTools - details SKTSync - details SmartReg smartWatchM supware AutoLog - details TinyTwitter TLR Diamond ROM TLR Diamond Additions TLR Kaiser ROM TLR Kaiser Additions TxtMan VipPimRingTone - details WebIS Flexmail 4 WkTask YouTubePlay Watchflag - details FUTURE SUPPORT We have many developers coming adding support now!

Looks shiny! Nicely informed me of the latest Nested Tasks build
 Presumably the info box can include a change log, for example?

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 ! This post has been edited by Chainfire: Apr 4 2008, 10:05 -------------------- Author of KaiserTweak and WMWifiRouter

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? P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |

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! P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |

P 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. -------------------- Author of KaiserTweak and WMWifiRouter

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

I can replicate the issue by setting my region to Netherlands/Dutch too. Will investigate

QUOTE(Paul (MVP) @ Apr 4 2008, 17:18) Posted new build... - Fixed continuous update loop (for Dutch (Netherlands)) - Fixed scrollbar redraw issue P 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. P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder. Check out my Blog! £10 off a £20 spend at eXpansys - click for details |
