Hello,
Is it very difficult to provide a zip version of a new release ?
Just curious cause every time you release a new version, I have to get it installed by the admin guys here….corporate security stuff.

You should really add a check to see if the user has the correct privileges to run the updater.

On a typical Linux installation, the IntelliJ installation files will be owned by root, and the program will be run as a regular user. If you try to run the updater as a regular user, I get a message that there are a lot of conflicts, and I can proceed or cancel.
Whatever I choose, nothing happens and IntelliJ restarts without having updated.

This can be solved by just running IntelliJ as root and then running the updater.

It would be user friendly to add a check for this though, so people don’t lose precious time trying to understand what these ‘conflicts’ are and why the h*** IntelliJ does not want to update…

After upgrading, the cursor is invisible. I think its being set as the same color as the “caret row” color.

I upgraded java on osx at the same time, so it could be one or the other. Anyone seeing this on osx Mountain Lion?
joe$ java -version
java version “1.6.0_37″

Why not provide the .zip version?
Do you know how many corporate environments don’t allow the download of .exe files

Come on live in the real world..

Problem with broken files available for download should be already fixed.

I have exactly the same issue Victor described : I am running version 11.1.3 and the update check states this is the latest available version. My HTTP proxy is configured as before and I could upgrade automatically plugins and even IntelliJ itself, as far as I remember…

Ultimate 11.1.3 reports that I have the latest version when trying to update.
Why is that?
