SOFTWARE BUG: Windows DynDNS client v4.1.7

I can't reproduce this with 4.1.7 on Windows XP Pro SP3 here. Does this happen with 4.0.8 or 4.1.6? The older versions can be found at:

http://cdn.dyndns.com/windows/DynUpSetup-4.0.8.exe http://cdn.dyndns.com/windows/DynUpSetup-4.1.6.exe

Thanks for that tip, for unknown reasons 4.1.7 never worked for me (last update in April), trying to enable the updater showed ON and immediately flipped back to OFF. With 4.1.6 all is well again (last update today). And with 4.1.6 the "new version" popup can't annoy me, because it's true... :-)

Same problem under XP Pro SP3. Allowed automatic update from 4.1.5 to 4.1.7. Updater launches in off mode. Trying to turn it, On shows briefly, then goes back to Off and a Windows program error box pops up. Switching back to 4.1.6 fixed the issue.
