hi,
when i launch the flynet client, it say that a new version is avaible and if i want to autoupdate it... but when i click 'yes', nothing hapens... if i click no to download it manually, nothing happens too... maybe you should redirect to the download forum page... but, i can't find the new client version in the forum topic dedicated...
so.. how can i fly tonight. i have 206 passengers that waiting for me and i don't want to give their money back...
autoupdate doesn't work

Latest update - autoupdate/manual
You are not alone...
I am sat at Toronto with a planeload of passengers (already on their second free drink
) .
I've not used autoupdate before so don't know exactly how it works (though I have noticed a "prefetch file" appear for FlyNet in my Windows\prefetch folder, so maybe a reboot is needed?), but as you say the usual "Get It Here" forum message still has the old 0.6b client.
I shall leave my plane and its getting-steadily-drunker passengers on pause overnight and see if things can be resolved first thing tomorrow before I have to go and do the real-world job I pretend to love.

Just replace the old flynet.exe with this one.

OK this worked for me:
Search for the file autoupdate.exe it should reside in the same directory as the flyNET client together with 3 other files:
flynet_setup.stp
libmysql.dll
log.out
Open up a command prompt, and switch to the drive where these files reside.
Using your mouse: drag the autoupdate.exe into the command prompt window and hit ENTER.
If you have Windows firewall enabled you might receive a warning, press unblock and there you go, the program will open a ftp connection to the FlyNET site, download the update and give you the choice of starting the client or simply exit form the command window.
It seems as though the program has to be run with security restrictions applied, or is dependant of either .NET FW 1.1 or 2.0 (I have both installed) It works on my machine but didn't on John's this evening, we'll give it a try again tomorrow (He got "The system cannot execute the specified program")

that's correct. The flynet_setup.stp file is downloaded by the autoupdate.exe program. You don't need it to run the autoupdate...
Well normally, when you hit the yes button a black console should appear. Could there be problem with XP starting a console application? I really don't know...I use it too and it works. Is there any autoupdate.exe open in the taskmanager?
But next time I'll additionally post a link to the new version in the forum. So everyone can get it here if the autoupdate fails.
Sorry for the problems guys

Hi DaKurt
This could very well be the issue here, Security policies might apply when running and exe.
If I start the autoupdate.exe manually a security warning pops up That should be handled within the Client. or one should apply lesser security on that specific file....
Or as an alternative you could handle the ftp function within the Client instead of using an external application...many ways, same solution
