Hi dropper,
this issue happens because, until version 12.0.1, on mozilla servers is not present the correct "latest" folder, where our launcher is searching for the last installation *.exe to DL and portabilize.
Since this morning, on mozilla servers, ALL thunderbrid folders referring to "latest" are removed.
Mozilla servers are not in line with our default path for thunderbird update.
Here below, FYI, current paths about "releases" present on mozilla servers:
Thunderbird: -Link-

Firefox: -Link-

please note differences in "latest"
we always keep the right exe, for each language,from within: ...releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/PROGRAM_NAME/releases/latest/win32/
So You have these 2 error messages:
- first one because folder is not existing at all
- second one because update/installation process won't end correctly, referring on first issue.

For your Info, the problem is affecting only thunderbird updates, in fact same path is still present and functional on firefox folders.

Anyway, if you want to use latest (13.0.1) X-thunderbird version, you can do a "manual" update following these steps:
-- be sure to close your official X-Thunderbird
- download current "X-Thunderbird 12.0.1 [rev8]" -Link-

(BTW, you have already it, otherwise you never wrote this post

)
- download last Thunderbird setup file from this link: -Link-

selecting your preferred language
- put the downloaded "Thunderbird Setup 13.0.1.exe" in the "X-Thunderbird_12.0.1_rev8.zip" -> "\Lib\Mozilla\Thunderbird\setup\" folder
create in a new location (path) your "temporary x-thunderbird" release
- run "X-Thunderbird.exe" and wait for the end of creation procedure
- do not put data for new account, skip it and close new "X-thunderbird"

now you can substitute the "Thunderbird" folder present in YOUR OFFICIAL X-THUNDERBIRD/Bin/ with the new one present in YOUR TEMPORARY X-THUNDERBIRD/Bin/ My suggestion: rename the old one as: Thunderbird_12 (or something similar) and copy the new one in the same place.

Now you have the 13.0.1 portable version fully funcional.
NOTE: at first run, your "official" updated version will check if all extensions/add-ons You use are updated. If not, the program will automatically udate them (this happens more or less each time you have "lightning" installed)

now You

Hi dropper, we are just ready with the new X-Thunderbird 13.0.1 (and X-Firefox 13.0.1 too), but we cannot release them 'cause SourceForge is sperimenting a technical fail in the last two days, and do not allow any new download.

At the moment we, and all of the rest of SourceForge community, are waiting for the solution to restart with the new release.

I have tried to understand your explanation.

Firstly I must extract the file "X-Thunderbird_12.0.1_rev8.zip".
Afterwards I put the downloaded file "Thunderbird Setup 13.0.1.exe" in the folder "X-Thunderbird_12.0.1_rev8\Lib\Mozilla\Thunderbird\setup\".
Now I run the file "X-Thunderbird.exe" and wait of the end of the creation procedure.
Finally I copy the folder "Thunderbird", which is contained in the folder "X-Thunderbird_12.0.1_rev8\Bin\.
Now I install the file "X-Thunderbird_12.0.1_rev8.zip" in the winPenPackNet Menu.
As a final step I paste the copied folder "Thunderbird" in the folder "D:\wpp_full_4.0-beta2\winPenPack\Bin\" (that's my special path on my PC).

Is my interpretation of your instructions correctly as far as? If yes, then I must remark, that I get again the same 2 error messages, which I have mentioned in my original post.

happy to see this!
anyway, Zandet2 was working on a temporary solution of mozilla/sourceforge issues while I was writing my previous post!

FYI, regarding your procedure:

that's right!

Nope! after previous steps, you need only to MANUALLY copy the new
"X-Thunderbird_12.0.1_rev8\Bin\Thunderbird" folder
into
"D:\wpp_full_4.0-beta2\winPenPack\Bin\" replacing the existing one (that's Your special path on Your PC).
(please temporary rename the existing one as a temporary safety backup!)

I use this kind of manual upgrade anytime I want to have last update (for testing) as soon as I can

Firstly thank you for your helpful instructions regarding the manual kind to upgrade an app.

The reason for the failure in my case was the fact that I removed X-Thunderbird from the winPenPackNet menu after the error messages. Then I tried to install the corrupt file "X-Thunderbird_12.0.1_rev8.zip"in the winPenPackNet menu. Instead I should have used my previously well working version of Thunderbird. And in this case your above described steps works surely fine:
