XWFIM updated

Just pushed version 0.4.3 out.

 

This version will now track the last selected version as opposed to always defaulting to the newest available version

I also added a check on startup for any new updates for the last version you selected. That way you will know as soon as you start XWFIM whether there are updates or not.

Finally, i fixed a (stupid) bug related to mplayer install when doing a new or clean install.

 

please report any issues to me here or via email and I will get em fixed ASAP!

Licensed users of  X-Ways Forensics can download Eric Zimmerman’s install manager (XWFIM) from the X-Ways Forensics support forum.   Eric’s creation of a GUI install application for XWF is really neat, minimizes the effort to configure your installation, and makes updates simple and quick.  Thanks to Eric!
