Beta 1.0.6.1 available
Another try at keeping the settings when updating... Just extract the ZIP and run the Advanced_Library.exe as usual (no need to use the setup.exe).
Shortcut for starting the PRPC-Script in Poser should work more reliable from the tree view.
You can now open another AL window via right clicking a library folder.

I wish it was possible to post a reply to that Beta announcements thread instead of having to start a new one ;)
Anyway .. No, it doesn't fix the settings issue. In fact, it's worse than before because it even forgets the folder where Poser was installed; previous versions lost the program, but when you clicked the file locator they at least started off in the right place.
Also, the link on the thread points to a "Does Not Exist" page with a background of a naked man and woman kissing under a tree ;) Your main page download link does work, though.
ps Can't you just put these setttings under HKCU/Software/Dizzi/Advanced Library, or something like that? Or has Bill "I know what's best for you" Gates decided that the registry is now obsolete so he has removed all support for getting and setting registry keys from the .Net framework and makes programmers use XML manifests instead?
If you've seen a man under the tree then you need glasses :-)
And yes, Bill and his gang don't want settings to be stored in the registry anymore... But the last opened folder was never saved anywhere anyway...
Can you send me the AL_log.txt from your temp folder? (\documents and settings\{username}\local setttings\temp)

Any line with "SettingsUpToDate: False" further up?

No, that's the whole contents of the file, which is why I pasted it rather than sending it.
Well, next time you update, please send me the log right after doing so.

As usual the settings were not carried over; poser.exe and "Sort Categories Alphabetically" were both lost.
