Thanks B!!!
The special:// fix should do it for me as I don't think the special paths are supported on Xbox version just yet.

BBB,
I just tried editing the copy files with v1.8 of your script under t3ch 18221 and upgrading to nightly version (19222) but the new copy paths show up as e.g. "special://home/whatever" which then fail when upgrading with error something like:
"err2 no such file exists, the file "E:\Apps\T3CH_20090304\XBMC\special://home/whatever doesn't exist" (from memory but you get the idea)
I manually edited the includes file back to "E:\" rather than "special://" which fixed it.
Is this a bug or have i done something funny? (quite possible)

BBB,
I tried editing the copy files and tried deleting standard "\skin" entry that is there by default but every time I relaunch your script the "\skin" is still in the copy files? Is the behaviour you intended?
IF I understand correctly, the copy files copies my existing files from my old xbmc install to the new xbmc install. Does this mean I never get the "newest" scripts that come with T3ch since with the copy files it always overwrites the most recent files that come with T3ch?
IT is funny because I have added some additional files to the copy file list because I run som PM3.HD mods and want these copied into the new install. They do not copy however for some reason. I presume this should not be the case (since your default stettings do copy eg my scrips ect)?
final word.Great program made life sooo much simpler :! many thanks.

\skin is one of the hardcoded 'copy include' subfolders, if you includes list doesn't have any of these 'mandatory' subfolders after reading in the includes file, it adds them.
After new build extraction etc, it then does the 'copy includes'. Each sub folder and/or file listed is copied unless it already exists.
So in the case of Skins: The latest PM3.HD comes with the new build. All subfolders of \skin , that don't exist in new build, are copied. ie. additional skins installed
You always keep the new build stuff.
Your custom files should copy over if they don't exist in new build.

cromity123: If you can still reproduce the error, can you send me the full xbmc.log , along with your includes.txt
thanks

Upgraded to the new T3CH the night before last. It worked perfectly. No renaming or repacking. Good job BBB!

well that would work except for it does custom copies before the deletes.
You could edit it the file to reverse this to try it out maybe ?
from Line 690:
# do Custom Copies
self._copy_includes()
# do Custom Deletes
self._delete_excludes()
The original reason for the custom copies was to copy additional files not included as standard in a build. But the custom copies could be modified to always overwrite, depends on what people want ?

Would simply renaming the modified PM3.HD to something else solve terminalx's problem?
