Hi All,

DiapDealer has figured out a way to make the launcher_updater_20141204.zip actually run by running python directly on the zip file!!!!

So there is now a completely new version of the launcher_updater_20141204.zip up there. The payload is exactly the same as all previous versions See the second post.

Special thanks to DiapDealer for his great work on this!

Thanks,

KevinH

ps. After some discussion we have decided not to force use of sudo, so that Linux and Mac OS X users that install Sigil locally (inside their own home directory) do not have to needlessly run sudo which reduces any possibility of potential misuse.

If it has permissions, it will properly write the files, if not, you will see a clear message of what it tried to install and where, and you can then decide if you want to run sudo or not to let it do its own thing. Ditto for Administrator command line prompts on Windows.
