Sounds a bit confusing, I know, but it is the bomb.

I just finished the Ensemble Video Update program. Here are it's features:

• Checks your installed version and only lists availble updates with version greater than your installed version
• Lists updates by version number and lets you see the changes made with that update
• Applies updates to the application by simply running the program and clicking on "Apply Update"
• Saves the update log to the application setup directory
  
• Update itself if new version is available

On the list of items to do:

• Create a backup of the existing files before an update is applied
• Other things I think of but can't remember right now
  

To install it, just go to http://ensemblevideo.com/download/ensembleVideoUpdate and click on the "Install" button. You most likley will have to use Internet Explorer and not Firefox. This will create a new Start Menu folder called "Symphony Video Inc" and put a shortcut to the "Ensemble Video Update" program.

Version 2.0.1 is out and while it was mostly a bug squashing version, there are a few small additions.On top of the application changes, I am piloting a new update program that will get and apply updates without any hassle. More on that as I test more and make sure everything works.
