Rather than rename any/all files the installer overwrites, I would prefer to add an option to the installer that allows the user to select (if they so wish) whether or not they want to choose which version to download in the case where there are multiple versions available. Something like a 'Automatic' vs. 'Custom' install. Until then, if you really want to upgrade your software and make a backup of the original, you do know you can do this manually by just copying the jar while the node is running? You don't need to stop freenet to make a backup of it. You could even write yourself a batch file that: 1. Copies freenet.jar, freenet-ext.jar, and whatever else you want kept 2. Runs freenet-webinstall.exe I'll consider a 'Make backup of replaced files' option for a 'Custom' install when I do the 'Custom' options for the webinstaller, but it's not a particularly high priority of mine right now. d _______________________________________________ devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hawk.freenetproject.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
