When trying to update it from 0.34 to 0.35, I get this error message:
Running Windows Vista SP1. I had this error message before, so I uninstalled it from my D drive and put it on C (didn't really plan that, just forgot to select the other drive during installation). It worked on the first update, but then I got the error message you see before you.

Yes, I do. One sec, i'll try with UAC on.
EDIT: It works with UAC on. Seems i'll have to keep it on for updating Springlobby :/

Springlobby's update system has never worked well unless you're running XP. Just download the new release from Springlobby.info.

You won't. Now that I know of this yet-another-uac-retardedness I can fix it in 0.36.

That is because msdn told me some time ago that the runas verb for shellexecute could be used on all NTs. Yesterday I only thought it failed on pre vista, so I introduced a switch in 0.35 that just uses open on those OS. This morning I get to see that runas also fails if uac is disabled.
Yeah, I'm just a teeny bit pissed with these awesome constructs MS puts up.
