This is odd. What is the exact text of the error message (including any stack traceback)? If you have the YAACDistro.zip file, then the file is there. Why it wasn't able to proceed has to be for some other reason.
YAAC's upgrader was designed assuming the user that is using it owns the installed files. This is potentially a security risk, but since YAAC does not require significant privileges to run and can be built from source code and re-installed by the user, it wasn't considered risky. However, if you are using a shared copy of YAAC on a computer with multiple user accounts, no account other than the installing account would be able to write over the existing YAAC files with the upgrade.
Alternatively, do you still have the file YAAC/lib/upgrade.jar present on your system? This is the upgrading program, so if it is missing, YAAC can't be automatically upgraded. Note that all the upgrader does is unzip the YAACDistro.zip file over the YAAC installation, then delete the YAACDistro.zip file. So you can do this manually.

[email protected]Subject: [yaac-users] Update help
I clicked on update ...after downloading I got a message stating the
update file could not be found. I checked the YAAC directory and
saw a new file YAACDistro.zip. How do I manually update after
the file is downloaded ? Also is there a way to save Favorite
stations you want to work ?
Thanks, Michael
