The SDK is now up an running fine. Moving forward I unfortunatley
stumbled across another problem...

After creating the sua file I can register them by double-clicking -
but they never show up in the list of applications on the "Change
Settings" page. I gave a directory as the application location and
tried various directory locations. Using a registry key generally gave
me a red "X". So I'm afraid something else might be broken.

I've already tried to do a deeper dive into the problem using MS C#
Express Edition but it can't handle the structure of the project. So
I'll have to rely on your assistance for the time being.

By the way, I'm *not* using the development branch of Seven Update -
would this make a difference?

It will only show up if the directory or regkey is on the system your on.

I already figure this our from looking at the sources - I made sure
that the directories are created.

Another observation is that Seven Update itself does not show on the
config page. Only the SDK is there - I'm not sure if SevenUpdate
itself should show or not.

No sevenupdate shouldn't show up, sounds like It's broken. I will have to test and release another update.

I am already in the process of going through and bug testing, seems like a broke a few things in my dec update that I didn't test for. I should get that problem fixed tonight hopefully.

No the dev channel is like the chrome dev channel.

Well I figured it out, It was a simple error, when running through
the official app list and custom added apps, my code checks if the app is
enabled, if it's not the custom app is removed. When adding the app to Seven
Update, the default state is disabled, instead of enabled. So it kept
removing your custom app. I am in the middle of implementing some minor sua
file changes, you shouldn't notice anything since I implemented some
backwards compatibility.

I released an update to the SDK to fix some issues related to app install
location, I also released the custom app bugfix to the dev channel, so
please use the dev channel and see if it works for you, but please first
upgrade both your application and update files by editing the project and
update and do a save/release.

I'm afraid I've got bad news again. I installed again on both XP, 32
bit, and 7, 64bit. On XP I've even manually deleted the application
data folder containing the sul files to make sure it's clean.  "Change
Settings" still doesn't show Seven Update. I get the message "Please
wait, downloading the program list..." in the status bar but it never
changes. On XP now I don't even have the SDK any more. Another problem
is that the SDK crashes when trying to export either sua or sui
files...

Thats what I get trying to rush an update. I'll get it fixed tonight. But the change settings will not show seven update itself in the program list, it isn't supposed to.

I am assuming these issues are happening with the dev channel version of seven update and you already have the SDK update. I tested editing and saving different projects with the SDK and didn't have problems.

OK I just released updates to both apps. Uninstall both apps and delete the
AppData folders for your username and for all users as your data might of
been corrupted in last nights update. Then retry everything. I tried to test
for as long as I could before I needed to get to bed. Also delete and
redownload the installers, I also updated those.

Hi, I'm afraid it's different but there are still problems. I've moved
to enter issues on Google code as this allows to add screenshots to
describe the problems.

By the way I've replaced the installers with the latest ones but
noticed that they are from Feb. 5th. So I already had used those
before.

Good news - it's finally up and running now.The supposed problems
yesterday were my mistake or misunderstanding respectively. Obviously
the screenshots did help.

So now I have been able to create and register a project and even
distribute a sample update. I'm going to dig deeper..
