When i run the Live Update , i see 1 on 37 scheduled step
i start it and during step 1, Live Update does a CTD without any message is it correctly finished or not
This has been explained on the forum countless of times:
You are not supposed to have all 37 steps performed, the updater can update all FSDT products, in all supported simulators so, unless you have ALL FSDT products installed ( in both FSX/P3D and MSFS ) all at the same time, you'll never see all steps performed since, clearly, something that is not installed, won't be updated, so its step will be skipped. So, for example, if you only have GSX Pro for MSFS installed, and nothing else, only the 1st step will be made.
After there's nothing else left to do, the updater will automatically QUIT ( it's not a CTD, it's a clean Exit!! ), and the reason why it doesn't give an additional message, it's because several users in the past asked to remove any confirmation message if there's nothing "wrong" to report, so they could run the Updater automatically, as part of a batch process, so they didn't wanted the automation to be disrupted by useless dialogs. Useless, because the updater completed successfully and it has nothing left to do, other than quit so...it just quits.
That's how the Live Update INTERFACE works. The Installer INTERFACE ( the .EXE is the same, it has two interfaces depending which Icon you use to start it ) let's you see what's going on, decide what to update, be in control, read messages. That's what you are supposed to use, if you want to know what's going on.
