In theory, that might be true, but if the Alaska Update/Activation Server 
is down, as it has been for at least the last three or four days, then you 
can't even get to the Update Manager. If you have no Internet access, the 
same issue arises.

Of course, you can manually install any of the "updates" that you have 
downloaded. All those MSI files are stored in the following directory:

"My Documents"\Application Data\Alaska-Software\xpp20\update-cache\

All those MSIs are complete installation packages, and don't need anything 
further. So just uninstall Xbase++ 2.0 and then execute one of those MSI 
files to install whichever build you like.

So, here is another plea to Alaska:

Please fix the Workbench, so that one can access the "Update Manager", even 
if the "asget.exe" program can't connect -- for whatever reason -- to the 
Alaska Update/Activation Server.

Also, please get the Update/Activation Server (193.159.219.61) online again.

And finally, please post information about new releases in the Announcement 
News Group here.

Thanks,

Andreas
