Driver Station Update fails to install

[Crossle86]

I suspected as much. I just couldn't believe anyone would implement a program version in such a ridiculous manner.

Ok, yes I copied the program and that explains the version.

I observed strange behavior with this update on my backup DS and now on my competition DS I have seen the same thing:

After install of update 1, I had two DS programs in the C:\program files\FRC Driver Station directory:
Driver Station.exe (this is the old version)
DriverStation.exe (this is the new version) if i run this program, I see the new version 09021500 as expected.

Since the Driver user would only launch Driver Station.exe, I decided I would rename Driver Station.exe to Driver Station-old.exe and rename DriverStation.exe to Driver Station.exe. This would make the Driver user launch the updated DS program.

However, after the rename (and a reboot), the Driver Station.exe is the old version. Seems impossible but it has happened on two systems. Driver Station.exe and Driver Station-old.exe are the same. I can't explain this and it seems impossible but there it is.

So, prior to all this, I had made a backup copy of the driver station directory. I went into the backup directory, did the same renames and then copied the renamed Driver Station.exe (now the updated version) to the real directory (thats how I got 03051500) and low and behold this time Driver Station.exe runs as the updated version and the Driver user runs the updated version.

I would say all this is insane of I had not seen it happen twice on different systems...
