Spybot S&D no longer updates

[Ken Russell]

I am having the same problem. I was able to download the update 2005-04-07
from; http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html
but after installing it still shows 2005-03-19 as my latest installed
update.

Tested it to see what happens.
Moved the content of the includes directory to a temp directory.
Manually installed the update.
Moved original files back.Result:

Windows overwrite prompts showed that all files moved were the latest
version.

Date still shows "2005-03-19".

Its a great program, if not a perfect one. I can live with it :-)

The manual update writes the wrong line to the "download.ini" file.
Spybot S&D reads the RELEASEDATE line under the [includes.zip] header
for displaying in the program, which the internal update writes to, but
the manual update writes/adds an UPDATEDATE line instead.
I understand that this issue is known and is to be fixed in a later
release.
