Official download location

[Tom Collins]

I know that new TSE releases are announced here, and the files are https://semware.com/files/tse-pro-install/tse[-linux]-4.x.y.zip, but where is the "official" download location for the "latest" version?  Sometimes I go to update versions and don't have the old e-mail.  https://semware.com/ isn't kept up to date.

Thanks.

[knud van eeden]

The easiest and quickest general solution for this often reoccurring question or feature request

would possibly be to instead of putting a hardcoded TSE version

dependent URL link like here on the Semware.com website:

https://semware.com/files/tse-pro-install/tse-setup-4.50.30.zip

Then putting instead the parent page URL on the Semware webpage:

https://semware.com/files/tse-pro-install/

Then whatever is present there is the same version as sent in the email also

because they should both share this top URL for and Windows and Linux latest

version.

===

Thus instead of this text currently shown at https://semware.com

Download the latest versions:

• TSE for Windows (4.50.23 Apr 2026) New!
• TSE for Linux (4.50.23 Apr 2026) New!

putting there the more general text, version independent:

Download the latest versions:

• TSE for Windows (latest version) New!
• TSE for Linux (latest version) New!

  
  

Then the question will be resolved once and for all without having to edit any URLs anymore.

with friendly greetings

I concur with Knud that some sort of "forward reference" to info
about versions on the web would be helpful tho I think there should be
"under development" version(s) and "stable version" labeled there
for folks to choose from.

1. But that would defy the easy solution of showing only the latest version.

2. As then multiple links would have to be maintained by Semware (=(hard coded) links to dev, stable, latest, ...).

3. As the only information sent in the email is further always the latest version and nothing more.

4. So for now we should, if accepted by Semware only point to the latest version and in the email and on the Semware web site,

using e.g. including only the parent URL on the https://semware.com web site.

A good question.
On the website, I post what I think is a stable version.
Once all the major issues from the last few versions are resolved, I
plan to post a new version on the website.
For me at least, 4.50.30 seems to have fixed most major issues.
But I'll let it marinate for a while to be sure.

Ok, so that clears it up a bit that you consider 4.50.23 the current "stable release" and consider newer versions less-so.  It became more confusing when the "beta" kinda went away.  So then I'd say things are fine as-is, but I'd offer up the idea of making some other web-accessible "directory" a dumping ground that has all of the releases available.  Right now, for example, https://semware.com/files/tse-pro-install gets you nothing - you have to know the exact file name, and unless I'm following this mailing list every day, I don't always recall what the latest is.

That is my goal.

You can find both old and latest TSE releases at https://ecarlo.nl/tse/ .
They have a link to their release message in the public mailing list if you prefer the originals.
My zip versions include an extra run_as_user.cmd and run_as_administrator.cmd script.
I did not include v4.50.29 because its installation aborted.
If no alarming reports occur I will shortly mirror v4.50.30 there,
including the work-around for v4.50.27 and v4.50.28 upgrades.

So having that explicitly in mind, if not mentioning the exact version but a more generic 'latest version' (and skipping the demand of mentioning explicitly a stable version), and making  

https://semware.com/files/tse-pro-install 

available for outside users (as usual that can be done in your Apache server or similar) then that would resolve the issue in a in my opinion very simple way.

The users get then the latest version and that is where most are probably interested in.

Leaving also a 'stable' version URL link on that web page  https://semware.com/files/tse-pro-install would then fetch 2 birds with one stone.

Just my 2 dollars ;-)

I tried this the other day, and the word "TSE" which links to your download page, didn't work for me - it was just text, not a link.  Weird. Will have to try it again from work.

Yes, it does work if expanding the links there, then at 'Windows' there is the information.

One sees 4.50.28 there.

I saw that download option also earlier, but 4.50.28 is thus not the latest version (which is 4.50.30).

In other words it will need maintenance which might not always be possible, and maintenance not by Semware thus.

So indeed the best option in my opinion would be that Semware (also) maintains the latest version (and I have already left an idea about how to achieve that in a least effort way).

Sammy,

I am pleased and happy to let you know that the company I work for has installed TSE on its Linux system.  I used TSE on my MSDOS machines first about ten years while working as an independent consultant, and now will be using it again!  Previously I worked at a very large defense contractor.  It had a great IT group but the process of getting apps approved was difficult.  

Thank you! Thank you!  TSE has so many sensible and convenient features!

Max
