Same story here. Here's what I just did. Go to the switchercad download
site and download it again, after you hit accept for the agreement
portion, it'll detect your previous installation, and prompt you to
either overwrite, or update.

I went with the update option, which completed successfully. Also, the
standard synch release feature now seems to work again after doing
that.

Cheers,
Chris

Arp.... that's been happening. Don't know what's going on.....

Backup the stuff you have changed and download the latest version from the
website. Install and restore what you have changed.....

SPAM ALERT

Obviously they need something from http://www.endeavors.com for free. Could
be a case study.

Shit company but they need customers... If you hunt about you will see the
news.

Errr, I have no shares but I know lots of people who do.... wankers, and the
'new' management.

Worked for me. (I selected "Update" during the install, which
preserved my library changes.)

Thanks!

Jim, you have a version that took place for a short time which cannot
update itself. There was a discussion about the details in the yahoo
groups for LTSpice. The error you mention confirms that you have a
version you need to replace ... and can't.

Mike provided this as a possible workaround (there are others):
"In LTspice/SwitcherCAD III, go to Tools=>Control
Panel=>Internet and check 'Don't verify checksums'
and then use the menu command Tools=>Sync Release."

Thanks, Jon!

I did a complete re-install, and got around the issue.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

According to LTC, there are two solutions to this problem. One is the
one you found, uninstall the old version and install a new version. The
second solution is to disable the checking of checksums. IIRC, this is
on the internet tab of the options dialog. This worked for me when I
updated a couple of weeks ago. YMMV.

Had the same problem, went to the LT site and downloaded the newest release.
