Update Check Issue in version 2.12.0
Hi, WOL notified me that version 2.12.0 was available but I chose Skip. Later, I manually downloaded version 2.12.0 and successfully installed it "on top" of my existing version 2.11.22. I thereafter noticed a problem: now in 2.12.0 when I click Help / About, "Online Updates" forever shows "Checking for Updates" and with no icon animation. So in an attempt to resolve this, I uninstalled WOL, rebooted my Windows 10 Pro 32-bit v1803, and performed a new install of WOL 2.12.0. Same issue! I have attached a screen capture. Cheers
I was able to resolve the problem in this manner: I fired up my trusty Revo Uninstaller and completely removed & scrubbed WOL 2.12.0 from my computer (several files and registry entries had remained after running WOL's uninstaller, including those related to its updater and more). Then, I reinstalled WOL 2.12.0 and - success - its updater now behaves as expected: "You have the latest version".
Thanks for the update. I found the logic bug in the Autoupdater code and I'm testing it now. Sorry you had to go through all that.
Thanks for finding and fixing the bug - that's good news! Cheers
