DSD+ Fast Lane Upgrade Notice Deleted?

[AB9NN]

It's been some time since I've seen the notice of update to the software to a new version and I haven't seen my notification e-mail yet. It's been long enough that I am wondering if I may have deleted it or something else is wrong. My original subscription e-mail shows unlimited updates. Any thoughts?

What's the last Fast Lane email version announcement that you received?

DSDPlus Fast Lane 2.228 on or around the middle of December. From there, the autoupdate mechanism in DSDPlus informed me when a new version was out ( 2.235 ) and DSDPlus 2.228 allowed me to automatically download the new version, unarchive it (using the password sent in my December Fast Lane email for 2.228) into my DSDPlus folder.

So the last actual email I got was on 12/21/2019. But the last update I got was on January 15th via the update mechanism in DSDPlus (and using the password from the 12/21/2019 email to unlock the new archive that DSDPlus downloaded for me.

At least up until DSDPlus 2.228, emails were sent for everyone. I'm certain because the author is meticulous. if you don't have them, you either deleted them or they went into a spam folder or something like that.

If you don't have a 2.228 email, then your only recourse is to contact dsdplusfastlane@gmail.com

2.228 I believe.

2.228 I believe.

Ok then you have all you need. Fire up DSDPlus 2.228. In the Event Log window, click on MISC at the top and select "Automatically Check for Updates" and then choose "Check for Updates Now". You should then get a notification that there is an update, and DSDPlus will prompt you to download it and unarchive it. You'll unarchive it using the password in your DSDPlus Fast Lane 2.228 email.

Save that email. Save that password. Save the distributions you download.

FWIW, I didn't receive an email for 2.235 either.
But, the in-app update described by mtindor worked fine.

I followed the directions above and when I attempted to unzip the download file both with WinRAR and WinZip it told me the download was corrupt. I tried to refresh the download multiple times with the same result. I have not made it to the request password dialog yet.

Use 7-Zip.

Use 7-Zip.

WinRAR works just fine too. The archive may really be corrupt. Or maybe the OP needs to just try it again if it failed the first time. If it were me I'd remove any .ZIP file from the DSDPlus folder, fire up DSDPlus, and check for updates again and let it download.

7-Zip worked as recommended. The others did not. Thanks!

WinRAR may not have worked for you. I use WinRAR 5.5. Works all the time for me.
