2 updaters
« on: December 20, 2017, 01:06:55 pm »
Hello,
Under my addon manager directory, there are TWO updaters, one is couatl_updater.exe, the other is couatl_updater2.exe. What's the difference and which one should I use? Thank you.

This has been already discussed and answered here:

There is a reason we create a Desktop icon: so you won't have to wonder which one to use, since the Desktop icon is of course pre-configured with the correct one, which is the Couatl_updater.exe

The reason why there are two updaters, it's because  the Couatl_updater.exe will first download the most recent Couatl_updater2.exe, and then will start it, and the Couatl_updater2.exe will do all the real update of the rest of the FSDT files.

This way, the updater can "Update itself" too...
