I have the autoupdate (fresh copy installed last week) file that is on the server and the main file tries to install the plugin by calling the script in the auto update but it fails to update. 

I checked the plugins table in the file and it is reporting that it is enabled and running when there are no plugins installed. Even the install button there doesn't work, if I go to the actual detail view then from there it will work. I think there is an issue with the 'installed' version field that is not getting properly updated.

Hey Ocean,

  We have a couple developers working on updating this feature this week. Not only will we make sure it has the latest versions, but users will have options to install from the latest release of multiple major versions to accommodate users with older licenses. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

I'm performing testing with it right now and so far so good. Feel free to check it out and give me any feedback. Here's a link for anyone else interested: https://360works.com/autoupdate/
