\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Lately there have been some issues with the Ol Monitor updater.
\nThe short answer is: a: click past the error messages, be unreasonably patient, and it eventually works, or
\nb: use the direct download links I sent to you in email.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you use the updater here is what to expect:
\n1. You will get a box saying \u201cValidating AutoUpdater\u201d.
\n\"\"
\nAt this point one would assume it has frozen because the validation takes a long time (About 120 seconds), but it has not.<\/p>\n

2. You will get the first error box.\u00a0 Although it recommends \u2018No\u2019, click \u2018Yes\u2019:
\n\"\"
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Another wait box appearing to be frozen:
\n\"\"
\nThis took about 120 seconds on my pc.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. 2nd \u2018error\u2019 message.
\n\"\"
\nThis time it recommends \u2018Yes\u2019 and it finally takes you to the update.<\/span><\/p>\n

What happened to the updater?
\nThraex software has sadly closed shop.\u00a0 Thraex produced the Astrum installer software used to install and update Ol Monitor.\u00a0 As installers go, Astrum was the best and slickest in my opinion but I guess they weren\u2019t marketing enough.\u00a0 Since their website is down the updater is unable to connect to update itself, but it still works just fine to update Ol Monitor.\u00a0 I haven\u2019t found a suitable replacement for Astrum as of yet.
