if you go to ppckitchen.org
there should be a walkthrough on how to manually update the program as there are a handful or two of certain people that the updater doesn't work for.
I personally don't know how to do it manually, but it's just the way it is I guess.
I'm assuming something to do with the setup of the persons computer not working nicely with buildos. I dunno.
But I saw a lil walkthrough on the site somewhere.
PPCKitchen.org is where buildOS is from.

Sorry if I ruin eveyone's party, I know PPCKitchen and BuildOS has many fans, but it's a piece of garbage as far as I'm concerned. It's extremely bloated, wants to be connected at all times and insists on donwloading tons of stuff all the time.

I have tried it on XP and on Vista and have experienced the same problem as the OP has, among many others.

I agree with the original poster, we need a better alternative.

I'll be reading this thread more in detail, but when I was looking into it earlier this year, there was nothing to replace that piece of **** that pretends call itself software. In my 20 plus years of computing, I have never seen a buggier piece of bloatware than this.

Why we can't write software anymore in America just boggles my mind. Give the same challenge to a Russian and see a program ten times smaller that works ten times faster in a tenth of the time it takes our programmers to cobble together the same functionality out of second hand code.
