Hello. I just downloaded SmallBASIC, and if I think about the basic of 80 years, the oldest and we are delighted to be able to find the programming that we do....Only keeping time to use and see the maze and aplications.

aln.

Just in case you guys didn't know, there has been a basic called "SmallBasic" for many years now (http://smallbasic.sourceforge.net/).

In the small programming communities that I visit, the names of your "Small Basic" and "SmallBasic" have already been confused many times by basic programmers.

Thanks pminaev. That used to be the case up to v0.4. With v0.5, we made a version reset on several dlls and in order to ensure clean install (higher versions not getting updated), we left the same ProductID.

Okay, that worked.

By the way, you might want to fix the installer so that it handles upgrades correctly (i.e. doesn't force to manually uninstall the previous version, but does it automatically). Generating a new ProductID for every release should do the trick.

Please refresh and try downloading again. Sometimes, it takes a while for the content to replicate among servers.

Why does the installer claim to be for version 0.4?
