So, have you gave it a look yet to investigate the source of the problem?

I am just curious and in no way would I want to press you in your probings. ;)

This seems pretty major to me. This really needs to be fixed. And I agree with OverFlow: this has always worked just fine in the past, and is only now causing problems. Very weird.

And to the v10.6 build either, assuming it too suffers from the same imperfection.

Yeah, that's true. The batch file can't delete a file in use.
The inst_upd.cmd file needs to have a line added to it (taskkill):

ping 127.0.0.1 /n 15
taskkill /f /im dps_base.exe
del /f /q DPs_BASE.exe
"%insert_variable_location_here%\DPs_BASE_1006.exe" x -y -aoa -o"%insert_variable_location_here%"
del /f /q DPs_BASE_1006.exe
ping 127.0.0.1 /n 5
DPs_BASE.exe
del %0

To be honest, I haven't tried it.
I'll give it a shot and see what happens though.

I have removed specific components from my build using nLite. That might be why clicking the "update button" on v8.12.5 BASE's updatechecker page to update to the next BASE fails to do its job properly, but I am doubting it.

Come on people, please just give it a minute and give me a hand testing!

Or, else, does this work for anybody?

I've tried updating BASE through BASE v8.12.5. Upon clicking the "update selected" button, I think it's supposed to close BASE, delete it, and copy over the new BASE before firing it up. However, the temporarily batch file "inst_upd.cmd" seems to hang on this line: "del /f /q DPs_BASE.exe" -- because, the current "DPs_BASE.exe" fails to close, and a 7-zip diagnostic message displays: "ERROR: Can not delete output file C:\BASE\DPs_BASE.exe." This leaves me with an unresponsive BASE v8.12.5 that has to be closed through task manager's "end process" button.

Has anyone else suffered from the same experience on WinXP x86?

I have opened a report over at the bugtracker: http://bugtracker.driverpacks.net/view.php?id=536
