There is something unexpected in your setup. I found this text:

2024-10-22 14:37:26,776 WARN oo.st.MainFrame [AWT-EventQueue-0] Could not get version for C:\Oolite
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Oolite\Resources\manifest.plist (The system cannot find the path specified)

I do not know your setup but suspect the home directory should be a subdirectory of what it is right now. Do you have something like C:\Oolite\oolite.app?

Edit: What happens if you press 'Scan'? Does OoliteStarter automatically find your Oolite installation? What is the home directory after autofill?

The install directory is C:\Oolite, which is the default, as far as I can tell.

Scan does not find any installations.

That is odd. Do you have a directory C:\Oolite\oolite.app?

Yes, it looks like everything is in the right place. When I do an install of whichever build I've downloaded, it defaults to C:\Oolite and correctly overrides everything there.

Ok, then please start OoliteStarter, go to the installations tab and check your active installation.
Set the home directory to C:\Oolite\oolite.app

That should enable OoliteStarter to automatically check the Oolite version, which means the warning in the logfile should no longer appear. And the behaviour of constantly asking for Oolite updates should change.

Ah that's probably it! The home directory was set to C:\Oolite not C:\Ooolite\oolite.app.
