Great, thank you. Our next release is coming up in the next few days so will include the latest translations

I cannot launch UMS after updating to this version on Windows 10. I get an error dialog box for failing to launch jvm.cfg. Downgrading back to 10.8.1 works for me.

I've seen that before but haven't reproduced it reliably, it might mean that some files didn't install properly. Can you try it again?

Okay, so it does seem to be something else going on rather than just the new version. Let me run through what happened:

I went to update to 10.8.2 again at your request. I tried updating via triggering the auto-updater. To do this, I quit UMS and then re-opened it. This attempt to reopen failed and I got the jvm.cfg error. Again this was while on 10.8.1.

Next, I reinstalled 10.8.1 which made it work once again.Then I let the auto-updater run and it installed 10.8.2, which DID work this time. So it seems to be an issue that randomly occurs in somewhat recent versions.

Is there any way to capture a log of it attempting to launch to figure out why it is failing?

Also while we're talking, I'd also like to mention an issue with the auto-updater dialog box. It forces window focus which is very annoying while updates download, as in while the auto-updater is running/download, I cannot use or type in any other application because the window focus jumps back to the UMS updater instantly. Can this be looked into?

Yeah I have noticed that focus thing too, I'll make an issue for it on our tracker.
Can you try 10.9.0? I just added it to https://sourceforge.net/projects/unimed ... es/10.9.0/
I may have fixed the problem

So far so good, it would usually have happened to me by now. I'll report back if I notice it still happening. Thank you!
