After some very positive feedback regarding 1.0 RC1, I’ve been working hard on the next build. There’s been some massive internal changes around threading that should make the application much more responsive, and free up more CPU cycles for ScanState / LoadState itself so performance will hopefully be improved across the board.

This has introduced a whole heap of new bugs, but I’m confident that most of them have been caught and fixed. Here’s the changelist:

WMA 1.0 RC2 (Build 46):

• CHANGE: Massive updates and fixes around threading
• CHANGE: Removed main loops and replaced with event-raising to improve UI performance
• CHANGE: Replaced WMA icon with a royalty-free alternative
• CHANGE: Updated ReadMe with .NET 2.0 pre-requisites and details on how to run WMA from Network share
  CHANGE: Removed Vista API.dll - seems to have been causing unhandled exceptions for non-English systems
• CHANGE: Much improved error checking and debugging output
• CHANGE: Major code cleanup
• FIX: Fatal Exception errors on non-English systems
• FIX: If a migration was bigger than available space on network/USB location, WMA would exit without warning, and without terminating ScanState
• FIX: Aborting Health Check or Migration no longer produced an InvalidOperationException
• FIX: Restarting a Migration after an abort produced an error
• FIX: If a migration was cancelled, a failure email was still sent
• FIX: Unnecessary double-warning if USMT was not found

And of course, the download link
