forgot to mention, there is now an option to 'automatically update default script pack' if you have 'automatically check for updates' enabled. this way, you can always ensure Bit Che is using the latest script updates.

Chip,
I installed the entire contents of the zip to program files x86..
.. I get an "update available" dialog
I clock OK.
And then I get "there was a problem extracting the scripts. please try again later."
Which I OK. I then also have to hit cancel on the "updating scripts" progress window, which is stuck (should probably have auto-cancelled).
I had to delete all files except the main exe to make this go away.
This is probably an artifact of the way you zipped everything, but something to watch out for in the final packaging..
Feedback: in preferences, the "general/searches/results view/connection" left pane text looks really unprofessional IMNSHO.
Future capability: option to add skins. at least the basic window layouts.

interesting... well I understand the problem.
"Program Files (x86)" is a protected System Folder. You need 'admin' privileges in order to write data there. If you extracted the .ZIP to that folder, then you would have 'settings.ini' present in that folder, which means, Bit Che is operating out of the 'portable' mode, and uses it current directory. So, if you THEN ran Bit Che without admin privileges, it would not be able to extract the scripts to those folders.
But, when you install Bit Che, and the Bit_Che.exe gets put into the "Program Files (x86)" directory, then the 'settings.ini' gets put into the "%appdata%\Convivea\Bit_Che\" directory, because that is where you can write data.
So, when you deleted all of the other files, Bit Che then operated out of "normal installation" mode.
Since you probably did not mean to make Bit Che go into "portable" mode inside the protected directory, I would just recommend you extract the beta.zip to a folder on your desktop or some other 'non-protected' folder. There is not much I can do except to clean up those error messages you described and provide better reporting. I cannot make the 'portable' mode automatically start operating in 'normal install' mode, if it detects a lack of privileges problem, because then it would not be a true 'portable' mode.

thanks for the feedback. Do you think the text is just too large in the left pane? Attached is a screenshot with a re-worked font size. is that better in your opinion?
thanks!

Bit Che 2.0 build 18 - beta
Note: this .zip is has a preconfigured 'settings.ini' designed to be ran as portable mode and force the prompts for script updates, allowing you to test the new 'details' options.
extract this to a writeable folder, such as a new folder on your desktop.
fixed: new error messages if Bit Che detects the 'settings.ini' is not writeable (ex, you run Bit Che with the 'settings.ini' and force portable mode in a protected directory) (thanks finite!)
fixed: new error messages if Bit Che could not write the data to a file or could not create the temporary folders (related to issue above) (thanks finite!)
fixed: opening "App Data" folder from the menu when you have launched Bit Che as a different user than the current Windows user (ex: launched as Admin from a Standard user account)
fixed: reduced the font size of the Preferences navigation menu (thanks finite!)
keep the bug reports and design feedback coming! THANK YOU!
enjoy!!
