The folder is not a simple placeholder. SyMenu unzip the entire new version inside this folder then the updater copy all the files on the root. Last thing if SyMenu itself finds the folder shows the new version installed message and delete the ~Update folder. If the folder is locked and SyMenu can't delete it, it repeats the message every time you run it.]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2015 18:37:45 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=397 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 18:22:19 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=397 The ~Update folder is a temporary folder used to update SyMenu. You can find at most the file conained inside the SyMenu.zip package, it's the same package file you can download from the download page.
What did you find inside the folder???

Since the ~Update folder is a temp folder, you can delete whenever you want. Usually SyMenu itself deletes it when it first run after an update but there is this bug that avoid the deletion. So the folder is absolutely useless for the user.]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2015 11:41:57 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=397 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:45:17 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=397 Mon, 23 Nov 2015 10:43:50 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=397 There is a bug in the alerter. I will explain how to solve it later.

My advice for updating a SyMenu in readonly is:
1) remove READONLY marker
2) start SyMenu
3) update SyMenu
4) quit SyMenu
5) create READONLY marker again

From the next version you'll have a specialized readonly file flag where you can specify one or more PC where SyMenu executes in not readonly mode. Stay tuned for that.

Last.
To solve the problem with the alerter you can delete the folder ~Update in the SyMenu root folder.]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2015 08:58:22 GMT https://www.ugmfree.it/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=397
It seems that if one does the following sequence (and maybe other variations), that the offer gets repeated at each launch of SyMenu.

1) remove READONLY marker
2) start SyMenu
3) recreate READONLY marker
4) update SyMenu

One could make a case that this is an inappropriate sequence, but steps 1-3 are a fast way to get a non-READONLY instance on a machine, leaving it READONLY for others as much as possible.]]> Mon, 23 Nov 2015 08:04:20 GMT
