I suggest to make the link navigatable (hyperlink).

Hi Arthur,

the suggestion is good, but probably I would not do it. It is simple message box with stream text which displays the message (you can see there also much longer multi line text), and technically HE is not able to highlight links in such multi line boxes. I can only do it when I design dialog manually.

But probably in 1.5x I would change here simple message box, to HTML dialog, then it would be much easier to display formatted data and also to have links inside.

But in any case thanks for the suggestion ;)

Best regards,
Alex.

Thank you.
On the same token, how about presenting a user with two options when checking for a version:
one for a new stable build and another for beta?

Do not know, is this is really needed.
If you have a beta, then you version is always higher then release on server.
In case you have better (version is higher then release) you would be suggested with beta.
If you already have pdb installed, you would be suggested with link to installer with pdb.

Only one case is missing, when you are on release, you would not be suggested with beta version.
And probably this is correct, I do not want everybody to use betas, because then would be more problems with consulting then benefits from beta testing. So, I prefer that people should explicitly install beta, and then get betas suggested.
