An appeal to Allavsoft users of wamug - - -

Are software updates normally installed automatically after downloading?

I had to install a recent software update (to vers 3.17.4) manually.

This is my story.  The small update window displayed an “update now” button 
with the message “Please wait for the updates”.  Download appeared to be normal 
with a progress bar.  On completion the update window changed to “cancel” while 
still showing “Please wait for the updates”.  I waited.  I eventually selected 
the “cancel” button.  Software did not update.

Allavsoft support (normally very quick to respond) did not reply to my email.  
I speculate it was put in the “silly question” bin.

I eventually found a file allavsoft-mac.dmg in the ~/Application 
Support/Allavsoft/ folder with the same date and time as my latest re-try of 
downloading. I double clicked the dmg file then followed the usual steps and 
the app update installed successfully.

I intend to delete the dmg file as it seems very peculiar to store it in the 
~/Application Support/ area.

Was mine a normal experience?  

Cheers
Alan
