Auto Update Plugin not Updating

[IT Heroes]

Hi,

I have successfully (well partially!) set up the auto update plugin. It works where the plugin isn't already installed, but if the plugin is installed then it doesn't update. It re-downloads each time and saves a file in the users update folder with the extension .fmx.new. The old plugin is still in the folder with the .fmx extension so it seems it doesn't overwrite the existing plugin so never gets loaded.

The plugin isn't the program files folder, only in the users extension folder.

Has anyone else come across this or got an idea what might be going on?

It is filemaker pro 10, filemaker server 10, windows 7 32 bit.

I have got around it by closing FM and calling a batch script when a plugin is updated. The batch script copies the .new file over the .fmx file and then restarts filemaker. It has a delay to wait for FM to close first.

I'm sure this isn't the right way to do things.... any advice?
