Hi,

When using PatchMyPC Updater 4.0.1.5 recently on a Windows 7 64-bit PC, I notice that the size of the download is reported as "0 MB".  However, the file downloads and installs perfectly regardless.

Two apps that I've seen this with are:

• PDF-XChange Editor
• RogueKiller

Could this be a bug?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have the latest version of Brave Browser (0.22.13) installed on a Windows 7 PC.  If I check for updates in Brave itself it says my installation is up-to-date and there are no updates but PMPC Updater reports the installation as being out-of-date.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have the latest version - SUPERAntiSpyware 6.0.1258 installed.  However, PMPC incorrectly says I have version 6.0.1254 installed and is out-of-date.  I am using Windows 7 and the last update for SUPERAntiSpyware was done through SUPERAntiSpyware itself.

Thanks.

Hi,

I noticed a small bug yesterday in PMPC where the colour of the "Portable Apps" title is not updated.

Steps to reproduce:

1) I had two portable apps in total, both out-of-date.
2) I unchecked and reset both portable apps.
3) "Portable Apps" title stays red - even though no portable apps now require updating.

Also, the "Portable Apps" title stays red after rescanning the apps.  The only way to make it go black is to restart PMPC.

Thanks.

Please consider adding Emsisoft Emergency Kit, a free and portable anti-malware tool:

Hi,

I have Skype 8.17 installed on Windows 7 64-bit but PMPC does not list it as being installed.

Thanks.

Hi,

Glary Utilities says "Version 5.93.0.115 available.  Update now!".  However, PMPC says my "Glary Utilities 5.92  -  5.92.0.114" is current.

Thanks.

Hi,

Should Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit still be included?  It is no longer free (except for beta) and only included in the premium version of Malwarebytes:

Also, AppCheck appears to be a good alternative, which now includes free anti-exploit protection:

Hi,

I originally installed the 32-bit version of IrfanView a few months ago.  However, now I appear to have both 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed (instead of just one) after updating.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi,

When I view ProtonVPN in PMPC Uninstaller, it is listed twice (both as version 1.3.3) - I also get a warning about this at the top of the PMPC installed apps pane.  Could this be a bug?

As far as I can tell I only have one installation of ProtonVPN on my PC.  If I go to Windows Add/Remove Programs, Revo Uninstaller or Geek Uninstaller, ProtonVPN is listed just once.

When I've updated ProtonVPN in the past I have always updated within the app itself.  I am running the latest version of PMPC Updater on Windows 7.

Thanks.

Hi,

Just wondered, what does setting an app to Auto-Install actually do?  I had a look at the FAQ here, but I think there is a typo as the question "Adding Apps As Auto-Install?" describes the auto updating feature.

Hi,

AppCheck is an anti-ransomware app.  Not sure if silent install is supported in the free version.

Hi,

Some apps (such as Kodi) don't provide the version number in the installation.  In this case, would it be possible to obtain the currently installed version number from the app's main executable (or similar), so such apps would still be compatible?

Thanks.

Hi,

With Windscribe each release consists of a version number and build number e.g. v. 1.1 build 123.  Often when an update is released the build number is changed but the version number stays the same.  In this case it appears that the install is flagged as up to date instead of outdated.  Could this be improved?

Thanks.
