Describing previous failures just for completeness, yet I also had a success.

Using W7 Starter 32bit on a notebook.

Updates fail via automatic detection (meaning a popup appears stating 'Update 
found. Do you want to update now?') or via Help - 

That failure happened updating from .36 to .38 and from .38 to .41.

Uninstalling the current version, and running the new *.msi never fails. The 
reason I say uninstall is that I think that with the .36 to .38 there was some 
complaint from the install by simply running the .msi, so it was easier to 
uninstall than figure out how to deal with that problem. Same happened going 
from .38 to .41.

OK it just happened again as I'm writing this, where it offered an update as I 
started the app.

But the error messages are fairly useless because the last 'Move:' line says 
'c:\program files\apm planner\version.txt.new TO c:\program files\apm 
planner\version.txt Done.

...followed by Update failed, please try it later. Press any key to continue.

So, just for completeness I tried running APM as admin. That did not say update 
was avail, but Help - Check for Updates, and update to .42 worked.

Which brings up a different issue. 'Check for update' is supposed to mean 
'check', not 'make it so.' If an update is available it should ask me if I want 
to do it now, but not simply jump in with both feet.

BTW I see no changelog entries for .41 or .42 so no clue there if anything is 
supposed to be affecting the updater.

I seem to have a different issue, my uploader is freezing up on me.  every time 
it would download all the updates fine, then as the black console window pops 
up it says program is unresponsive.  I've confirmed this by just trying to run 
the "updater" in the APM installation folder.
