Update problems with FMPA15

[rick altman]

Man, am I frustrated with the current update, which I am reminded about every few days when I start Filemaker. It asks me if I want to download, does not download the file to my designated Downloads folder, and then tells me that I must close Filemaker in order to proceed (see screen shot). When I close FM, the update stops of course, and I end up without my update.

Three days later, this whole little scene plays out again.

This is one of the more unintelligent updates I have encountered in my day. If I knew the filename and location of the update when it downloads, I could go get it myself, but I have not been able to find it on my own. Are others troubled by this? Anyone know how to work around this poorly-conceived update routine?
