Another update (2 in a day!).
offbyone commented on IRC that update.xml was growing exponentially due to changes I made to MPEMaker for skin checking.
I've implemented another method so that now the lists of files is not added to update.xml.
Please re-save your projects with MPEMaker and generate update.xml and test.

Some things I have noticed today 
* The Update.xml stores a reference to the local icon:
Can this be removed please as surely its not needed, plus the path that it saves to the icon is not relative so can change depending on your dev enviroment.
* Nice to see line breaks working in the description fields
* I think the buttons for Cancel and Previous should never be hidden in the generated installer package. Instead disable them, that way the Next button doesnt look out of place in some sections.

A few other things when saving the project:
* The <ZipFileName> generated for the artwork (top right icon and side image) always generate a new GUID, this should remain static otherwise always shows up in versioning history of SVN/GIT.
* <ProjectFilename> should be saved as a relative path if possible.

Hey Migue - a minor detail, but when you uninstall a previously installed version, MPEI says "This extension already have an installed version" - 'have' should be 'has' I can't find exactly where this is set in MPEMaker but it seems to be hard coded as I can't change it. Just in case you do any more updates

Hi,
sorry for taking so long, been busy in RL.
I've updated first post with new binaries containing lftearme's suggestions. Please re-save your projects with MPEMaker and test.
Be sure to check for regressions, specifically related to the GUID generation.
From this point I'll only be accepting feedback in regards to regressions or issues related to version checking only. (And this time I mean it )

So much better now Migue...much closer to a professional installer.
I know your only looking for regression issues and version check related problems but I will try my luck anyway.....when you first see the Tree View Selector dialog, nothing is selected by default. It would be nice that the first item is selected so something is populated in the descriptions box.
