v3.0.0 — It updates itself now 🎉

We know the drill has been painful: every time there was a fix, you had to come back to the site,
download a zip, unzip it somewhere, launch it, and re-calibrate all over again. We hated that too.

This is the last time you do that by hand. v3.0.0 turns Poe Ancients Price Helper into a proper
self-updating app that remembers your settings.

What's new

  • One-click auto-update. When a new version ships, an "Update now" link appears in the app —
    click it and it installs and relaunches into the new version instantly.
  • Or don't lift a finger. Ignore the prompt and just close the app whenever you're done — the
    update is applied silently in the background, so you're already up to date next time you open it.
  • Your settings are kept. Calibration, league, hotkeys and theme now live in a stable location and
    are preserved across every update. No more recalibrating after an update — ever.
  • Real installer. Ships as Setup.exe instead of a zip; installs per-user (no admin needed).
  • Updates are served straight from this repo's GitHub Releases — there is no separate update server.

Install

  1. Download PoeAncientsPriceHelper-win-Setup.exe below and run it.
  2. Windows SmartScreen may warn that it's unsigned — click More info → Run anyway.

That's it. From here on, the app keeps itself current.

Upgrading from v2.x (the old zip)

Run Setup.exe once. Because settings now live in a stable per-user location, you'll re-pick your
league and re-calibrate one final time. After that, updates are automatic and your settings persist
across them. You can delete your old unzipped folder afterwards.

Notes

  • Requires Windows 10 version 2004+ or Windows 11 (for Windows OCR + WGC capture).
  • Still unsigned, so SmartScreen / some AV may flag it (the global-hotkey component uiohook.dll is a
    common false positive). Expected — it's a self-contained, source-available build.
