Thanks for reporting this. I'll take a look.

Can you make it happen again, and then upload the clink.log file here?

Oh, I see what happened. Clink gets confused if an update has already been downloaded in the background, and then the same (or newer) version of Clink gets manually installed. Then it has a zip file downloaded and ready to go, so it says "update available". But then later clink update correctly realizes there's actually nothing to do. I'll fix that this weekend.

In the meantime, you can delete del %TEMP%\clink\updater\*.zip to make it stop saying there's an update available.

What is the recommended way to update clink?

I normally download the install in case of re-install later

[chrisant996]

Well, starting in v1.3.18 Clink has a built in updater.

So that would be the recommended way of updating, now.

There's nothing wrong with also updating other ways, but there's currently a bug where if you haven't disabled the built in updater but you manually update instead of using the built in updater, then the built in updater gets confused into thinking there is still an update pending. It's just a bug, which will be fixed this weekend.

[chrisant996]

Fixed in v1.3.21.
