Hi Bruce,
I am trying to get the new versions of Athena and Artemis. I cliccked on updater.exe but I continued having Athena 0.8.024 and Artemis 0.6.009. After I installed from zero ifeffit-1.2.5a.exe and the ifeffit_updater-1.1.exe but I have still the old versions. ...I don't understand....
Hi Giuliana, I don't think I understand either. If you have installed ifeffit-1.2.5a.exe then the next time you run athena or artemis, the installer should notice that you are not up to date. You certainly are not -- I released Athena 0.8.025 and Artemis. 0.7.000 after Matt released ifeffit-1.2.5a.exe. I was counting on the updater to do its thing. However, if you are behind a firewall (which is, as I recall, the case at ESRF), the firewall may obstruct the updater program. I don't know the solution to that problem, but I have taken the liberty of CCing this to the mailing list. Perhaps someone else will have some wisdom to share....

Hi Bruce, Giuliana, There have been a couple other reports like this, but they always seem to go away eventually. I doubt the firewall is an issue (if you can download a zip file from a web page on your computer, the updater will work.. if you can't download a zip file, the updater should let you know this). I've just added a FAQ entry about this: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/ifeffit/faqwiz?req=show&file=faq02.008.htp The upshot is that I'd suggest replacing the file C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\updates\updater.ini with http://cars9.uchicago.edu/ifeffit/updates/updater.ini and editing (notepad,wordpad,...) and the file C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\updates\updater.dat to read '005'. (Just three numbers, on one line). Then, re-running athena, artemis, etc should immediately tell you that there are updates available, and download and install them. If you have problems, please note whether a) ifup_006.zip gets downloaded (the progress bar in the lower right corner of the updater GUI should shows the download progress). b) whether the main GUI panel lists any files being unpacked. Hope that helps, --Matt
