owen, can you try this version (it's just a new exe so replace existing one with this one):

That resolves the date display issue, I can change the day in the XML to 20, and both display correctly.

PS: I might mention that when I right click the entry, the drop down list shows the date in mm/dd/yyyy format.

i dont see any problem in that screenshot.. it may have been only certain plugins or other programs that displayed unusually? anyone have a screenshot of where it's wrong?

Again, I am depending on memory, and it may be wrong, but my recollection after investigating the thing was that the blank date display is because the date appears to be invalid (eg month>12) due to localisation problems.

Do you have another explanation for the blanks in the date column?

I have just edited the dcupdate.xml file for fsm in the attachment to day from 2 to 20 and it causes a blank date display. The date in the XML file displayed below is 2 July 2010.

Mouser,

If/when you get to do some revisions to dcUpdater:

Version dates do not display sometimes in the main dcUpdater window... seems sensitive to date and I think probably an internationalisation issue (I use dd/mm/yyyy format).

Mouser, it seems this continues to be an unresolved issue a couple of years later.
