Anyone getting repeated notice of the the 2.53 release?

[lew]

This is happening once a week. I have downloaded and am using 2.53 but about once a week it notifies me like it should with updates however it shows this in the window below.

When I click on it I go to the download page but it says nothing about updates it just the same file I originally downloaded to install 2.53.

Anyone having this happen besides me????

Nope. It works as it should for me.

I just tried a manual check for new versions, but nothing new was found.

[Eric]

Nope, check works fine.

Could it be that you installed 2.53 to the same folder where you had previous version of AS (including 2.53 beta)? Salamand.exe perhaps got updated, but the CheckVer plugin did not? I have seen such misconfiguration already...

In addition to Jan's idea, I would recommend you backing up your configuration (Options > Export Configuration...), uninstalling Salamander, restarting, completely deleting its program directory (usually C:\Program Files\Altap Salamander) and installing it again.

Also, did you install any plugins or plugin updates?

@ether:
I haven't installed any new plugins or plugin updates that I know of. I do have plugins installed.

@Jan:
Will try the backup and re-install.

Well I know what the problem is now. I was making copies of 'Salamand.exe' and renaming them to 'Salamand - Admin.exe' and 'Salamand - User.exe' so that I could select the one running as Administrator or one Running as User in order to avoid answering the UAC question everytime I ran it and still be able to do admin things when needed.

I tried to make short-cuts to do this but it always sets Salamand.exe' to admiin privilege or not depending which was chosen last. Can't see a work-around unless I install it twice in different sub-directories and that is a waste.

Anyone see something I don't?

I assume you are using the Compatibility settings to launch Salamander with Administrator privileges. However, in the Properties of a shortcut, on the Shortcut tab, there's an Advanced button opening a small window with an option to lauch the process with Administrator privileges. I've never run into any conflicts using this option.

An alternative approach is to use some elevation proxy application (such as Elevation PowerToys).

edit] After re-reading your post, I realized you wrote about not needing to confirm the UAC elevation prompt. I personally have not tried to bypass the prompts, so I'm a little confused now, as to how you do that. Tell us whether the solution above works for you, and post additional information if not.
