: Hi,

: I just manually hit the "check for updates" button, and was prompted to upgrade inteng7x.dll from version 369 to version 370.

: Despite 2 retries, I kept getting CRC errors. At that point, I followed the suggestion in the error message and manually downloaded the file from your website. That got me back in business, ableit running 369.

: Couple comments
: - after the first failed attempt I noticed there was NO valid copy of the file on my PC. Help/about and "check for updates" both reported quote module = 0.
: - perhaps it would be worthwhile to preserve 1 or 2 previous generations rather than overwriting them. Maybe something as simple as inteng7x.dll.old, then put instructions in the error message telling the user how to revert
: - the existing help message suggests downloading the file manually from the website, but does not say where to put it. I figured it out, but more detail in the message would have been helpful.
: - this whole thing is repeatable. Once I got back to 369, I tried "check for updates" again, was prompted to install 370, got a corrupt copy again, etc.
: - also noticed the "check for updates" message claims the current version of FM is 7.7 I'm on 7.6, and have not been notified that 7.7 is available. I also didn't see it in the programs directory of your website.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for pointing out this problem. We hadn't uploaded the new DLL onto the old domain, so versions 7.6 and earlier were actually still downloading 369, and comparing it against the expected CRC of 370. I have fixed it.

Version 7.7 is available now, and you can download it from our web site here:

Email announcements have been going out today, and are still in progress. Yours may just not have been sent yet. We do have your email address on our mailing list.

Thanks,
Mark
