Any updates on this issue? I just want to point out that this update 'feature' makes it unusuable for a large number of commercial developers.
I did come up with a workaround, it requires you having access to your HOSTS file, and the ability to change the time on your computer.
The basic deal is the the url it hits to check versions returns a version string. At startup, it always pings this url. I was able to put an entry in my HOSTS file for the download url, then I wrote a tcp server that spit back the correct string.
There is a certain date (about 3 months) beyond when you have downloaded a particular version that it will insist on downloading again. If you set your clock back appropriately, and have a fake server (with HOSTS) entry, you can spoof it.
Unfortunately this is tedious, and it requires you have extended permissions on your workstation, AND that you change your clock back every time you start the application.
So...when are ya gonna fix it? / comments
