The last couple evenings, upon launching MCDT 7.0, I get this message in the lower right corner of a monitor screen.
Since such updates are seemingly not automated, what is one to do to get this update? I didn't see anything new to download since July 15th... Thanks.

geizer, thanks for the reply.
That was the first thing I did, but download name was the same as the new update, which I found odd, so I did not download it. I then went to the blog as that usually mentions new versions, and I saw no reference to this update...
Just explaining how I got here to ask.
Thanks again.

Sorry for the double post...
The current MCDT download is from July 15th, but I downloaded anyways and was prompted to remove or repair, so I chose repair, thinking that this is not the update, as originally anticipated...
And upon opening MCDT, I still get the same (attached). I'd like to get this update, but not sure how...
Actually, I don't see how to attach here.

I'm not on the same boat since I have a Multicharts license. Maybe the developer hasn't updated the latest built of free version yet. Try sending an email to support@multicharts.com for a definite answer.

You are seeing the message because MCDT 7 has been released. You can update no problem, and you should do so as geizer directed, through https://www.multicharts.com/free/. The file name will be the same, but you will see your build information change in Help > About after you install the new version. Make sure your MCDT is closed, and install the new version over top.
The announcement about the release will be posted soon.

Alrighty.
As mentioned earlier, I did download and install (did repair over remove of course), and still get the same notification. I'll try again later and report back. Thanks.

Don't do repair, just install the new one over top of the old one. Then your build information should update. Make sure your MC is closed when installing the new one.

I only get 2 choices: repair or uninstall. Did an uninstall and then ran the setup again to install. There should be an option to update program rather than having to go through all this each time a new version comes out. Ideally the update should be available from the program itself in the Help menu.

When you run the new installer, it should simply go along as a new install. Is that not what's happening on your computer?

Stan,
The first time I pursed a download after getting this notification I noticed that the release date was July 15, so I did not download it...
Then, after starting this thread, I was advised to download anyway and disregard the date. I did so and upon install I was prompted to remove or repair only. I did repair and still get the notification...
I will try it again later tonight and report back.

After the new install the version is build 66 and I still get the message that a new version is available.When you run the new installer, it should simply go along as a new install. Is that not what's happening on your computer?

I just downloaded it again (7.0.66.400, not 7.0.4510.400), and with MCDT closed, and I checked the Task Mgr to ensure that there were no running processes, I am prompted to either remove or repair.
Any ideas?

The new version message has stopped on startup so the probkem is solved for me. Updating the program should be easier than the current method.

Agreed. Ideally, minor things such as updates should be more seamless, performed within the app itself...The new version message has stopped on startup so the probkem is solved for me. Updating the program should be easier than the current method.
Were you prompted only to remove or repair though? I'd rather not delete my current MCDT...

Drat. Sorry to hear that... I was contemplating a "removal" and keeping the files. I'm not keen on doing that, especially since it seems to not have worked for you...Message is back this morning. What is the current build? Mine is 66.

Please consider making the update process easier as well so an uninstall and full reinstall is not needed. Thanks.This issue has been confirmed and is being resolved now. You will see it in MCDT version 7.1 in about a month.

Good to hear Stan.This issue has been confirmed and is being resolved now. You will see it in MCDT version 7.1 in about a month.
Will we be somehow notified when it's available? I ask, because as it stands now, one needs to submit an online form just to see what version is truly available for download.
