Multiple plugin update quandry with new AU.dll

Here is the situtation:

I have 2 plugins in my main app's folder that user Automatic Updater. If the updates for both contain a newer version of AutomaticUpdater.dll, and a user updates Plugin1 first, then Plugin2 is SOL because it references an older version of the dll which is no longer present because its update has not happened yet.

Do you have any suggestions?

Put the 2 plugins in separate directories so they're not co-dependent on a single dll. Or update both plugins simultaneously. We try to maintain backwards & forwards compatibility with the AutomaticUpdater versions, so under most circumstances one plugin can use a newer version of the AutomaticUpdater without a problem.

A 3rd option is to just rename the AutomaticUpdater.dll for each of your plugins. I.e. AU1.dll and AU2.dll.

Outstanding.

Thanks, Sam.
