Yes, SciTE is a nice little editor. On Windows you also could try Crimson Editor (google it) or VIM (run it as eVIM on Windows and it will behave more like Notepad).

Dealing with Library Errors using !!!StandaloneLibs
Many thanks to Tekkub for putting this little trick together. I hadn't been using it because library embedding was working so well for me, but yesterday I ran into a set of addons that weren't loading the right versions of the libaries. Yes, this is just a timing issue around when/how ZIPs get made, but it was pissing me off.
Here is how you can make that kind of problem go away using !!!StandaloneLibs:
Using your favorite ZIP extractor, extract it to your Addons folder. This will create a whole bunch of EMPTY folders that are placeholders for the libraries. (NOTE, if your ZIP program doesn't see the empty folders, try a new one. WinZIP 9.1 SR-1 for example doesn't see them... WinRAR does.)
Once you have extracted these empty folder into your Addons directory, fire up WinAceUpdater. Since WinAceUpdater looks for folder names when it scans your addons folder, it will see these as "installed". Press F4 to mark all installed addons and then update. You will now have updated versions of all the libraries.
FWIW, personally I've also started syncing Ace2 in WAU as well. It helps with some of these errors too.
I suspect that these problems will go away once the TBC library migration is over and people have a chance to updated TOCs and whatnot. But for now this will help a lot.
I'm thinking about features I can put in WAU to automate some of this, but for now this works.
I just renamed the SF.net project from WinAceUpdater to WowAceUpdater. It turns out that there was a project called WinAce and the old name was creating confusion. Also, we have a developer working on a Mac version of the code so the old name didn't make sense.
The plan is for the Mac and Win versions to share as much code as possible and just have two different UIs.
An idea I would like to see is an option in WAU to download all the libraries. I know you can do this now with !!!StandaloneLibraries, but if for example there was a file added with the names of all the libraries or a seperate directory to store the libraries then WAU could easily download them and keep an updated list.
Aside from Install/Update and Uninstall, can you add a Reinstall function? I'd like Reinstall to delete the selected Addon(s)'s files and extract the latest version again, regardless of whether there is a newer version available.

You can achieve this by playing with the options a bit. See the wiki page for a "Tip" on how to do this.
The program worked when I first started using it. I tried using the 1.4 file but that failed to work as well :(
I need more information. What operating system? Windows XP I assume? Do you have .NET 2.0 installed? I assume yes. When you look in the folder with the EXE, do you see a file called ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll? If not, redownload and unzip. I just downloaded to be sure and all the files are there.
Yes, currently running Windows XP (All current windows updates installed). I'm pretty sure I have the .Net 2 installed, just to make sure I went to the microsoft website and downloaded it from there, when I downloaded it, it then asked me if I would like to repair or uninstall, so no install feature so im guessing its the latest version. I made it repair in the end to see if it would have any effect.
As I was typing this I thought to myself maybe it doesn't like 7-zip software. I was running the exe whilst I was viewing it in 7-zip. (or I was being ignorant, most likely being ignoran). So I extracted all the files from the zip to my desktop and it now works like a charm. One strange thing is that I'm pretty sure I used to run an old version out of WinRaR at the time but I don't use that anymore.
Anyway thanks for the help you were willing to give me PProvost. Thanks for the utility as well, keep up the good work :)

Any ideas ?
I looked through the thread and saw it has occured before 1.5
I use 1.5 now and there are no double entry's for pinpoint or such stuff..
All other addons update just fine. Is it a pinpoint problem ?
Another off-topic question ;)
I had big fps issues with WoW in RC1, is this still the problem in RC2? :o
I get ~10fps better on RC2 than I did on XP. It seems like High Performance mode on my laptop actually means that in Vista. In XP it just meant "less battery mode". :)

The new URL for the SF.net site is http://sf.net/projects/wowaceupdater.
Enjoy!

It is called Windows Vista RC2. Enjoy!
I'm using "!!!Libs". Is there any difference to "!!!StandaloneLibs"?
It detected the addons I had correctly but it doesn't select the "SVN" files to update so I did that manually, minor annoyance but not a big problem.
The biggest problem I had was when I made it try to update my addons, I get this error whenever it tries to extract:

Curse PremiumAfter that WowUpdater doesn't seem to have an issue.

Curse PremiumI hit F12, hit Enter, and get Update Complete. No Addon installed, nothing. Just started... VERY strange.
