Can it be that the updater gives a false error if the UI/ProfitUI folder does not exist?

Anyway, i am very happy with the updater, now that it's working.

Note that it might also be possible that due to the many attempts to get it to work yesterday , i may have fixed the problem myself, but the fix was not apparent without doing a physical boot , which i did this morning.

It was fixed, webstart updates the updater without further notice when it detects a newer file on the webserver.

Actually it should display another wrapped exception which tells why it wasn't able to load the resource.

Maybe some cached files are corrupted, go to Start -> Run and type "javaws -viewer". It should display a list with all webstart applications. If it is there, right click on ProfitUI Reborn Updater, delete it and try to install it again.

Just started the updater from the website, works fine.

Good job.
