While it might work, I don't recommend this way, and this will void my support. Some people report they cannot remove a version because uninstaller needs to locate a particular version of EmEditor. If you need to install an alpha version over an older alpha version, please uninstall the older version from Control Panel, and then install the new version. ---------------- Yutaka Emura Developer of EmEditor http://www.emeditor.com/

Example: `@echo off cls :: Path to MSI-File set msidir=C:\Downloads :: Path to EmEditor set appdir=C:\EmEditor for /f "tokens=4" %%i in ('"dir %msidir%\emed*.msi \| findstr /i "msi""') do set msifile=%%i msiexec /a %msidir%\%msifile% /qn targetdir=%appdir% set msidir= set msifile= set appdir=`

However, uninstalling and reinstalling beta versions is a pain. Could we have a shortcut to uninstaller/automatic updates? Beta testing is cumbersome, but pleasant at the same time :)
