Many thanks

I'm using 7.0.2 and it says it's up to date, will not update via Help=>Update program.

Apologies for the patch not being available. There has been a technical issue at Magix end which has delayed its release. This will be resolved promptly and we expect the 7.03 patch to be available tomorrow

Many thanks
The Xara Team

The 7.0.3 updates are now online - apologies for the delay.

Regards

Neil

Yes there are no 7.0.3 installers available yet so it's currently only available as an update via the 'Update program' option in the Help menu.

While I applaud Xara for releasing patches so quickly, the fact we have now had 3 in quick succession since XWD 7's release would indicate to me either a product rushed to market or some issues in the QA area.

Took the Update Program option. It downloaded (44Mb) then a message popped up telling me there was an update available (or words to that effect), I clicked 'Ok' then.... nothing. Message disappeared, no update install kicked off, XWD 7 still at 7.02. Tried this twice now.

I think it indicates a small development team providing great customer service for software that is increasingly complex with a large number of usage scenarios.

Since there isn't a furore about bugs I'd say they did a good job about bug catching before release and an even better job in fixing those they didn't catch and getting them out for the users.

I felt a bit breathless after reading that second sentance. May I recommend punctation in future?

To be clear, Xara's products are superb. XWD is exactly what I've always wanted - it is without equal and leaps forward with every new release.

So... anyone else got a problem applying 7.03?

LOL, I'll try and remember. You are right.

Have the same issue gpholman is having...download 44M, message dialog pops up 'update available', click "OK", nothing happens. Tried 3 times over 2 days.

PS: I don't care how many times I have to update...XARA ROCKS!

Are either of you running Vista or Windows 7? If so do you have UAC enabled?

Look in the C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Temp folder for the file MxUpdater.exe file. It should be 45,751 KB in size. You can try running the program to see if it will start and install the update.

Hi Bill

I'm using XP Pro SP3 - never had this issue before. I found mxupdater.exe where you said and ran it manually successfully.

Thanks

Hi Graham,

I was just guessing as to why the installer did not work and chose a common problem. :)

On XP it could be due to antivirus, anti-adware, or anti-spyware that limits the number of processes especially those spawned by an existing process.

Well it's updated so I'm a happy bunny.

p.s. it's 'Grant' :-)

Sorry Grant. They say the memory is one of the first things to go.

4th time was a charm. Ran it as a normal Update via Help and this time it worked per usual. BTW, running XP here.

Thanks, Soquili.

Does anyone know if the 7.03 fixed the SWF Flash problem ?

The problem where when the webpage code is written out, the SWF loop info is totally missing, and even SWF's designed to NOT loop -- play once and stop -- are looping. The loop HTML info is totally missing from the generated HTML.

Messes up a lot of users work.
