[Closed] PortableApps.com Installer 2.02

AdvancedExtract1Filter not valid.

I type the following string into the installer.ini file and the installer renders it an invalid variable/constant and deletes it.

AdvancedExtract1Filter=**

I thought maybe I was doing it wrong so I tried the following:

AdvancedExtract1Filter=codeblocks\**

and recieve the same message.
The following is part of the log:

 unknown variable/constant "{AdvancedExtract1Filter}" detected, ignoring (macro:_==:1)
  unknown variable/constant "{AdvancedExtract1Filter}" detected, ignoring (macro:AdvancedExtractFilter:6)

I hope this helps.

Context?

Could you please provide the rest of the installer.ini file? I can't immediately see any cause for it and would like to have the rest of the values so I can step through it fully.

installer.ini

This is the whole file:

[DownloadFiles]
DownloadURL=http://download.berlios.de/codeblocks/codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe
DownloadName=Codeblocks 10.05 MingW Setup Files
DownloadFilename=codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe
DownloadMD5=cab50ffb133d2362d1a4d76657a7993c
AdditionalInstallSize=155369
AdvancedExtract1To=App\Codeblocks
AdvancedExtract1Filter=Codeblocks\**

I have tried fiddling with the "AdvancedExtract1Filter" in the following ways:

-  AdvancedExtract1Filter=**
-  AdvancedExtract1Filter=Codeblocks
-  AdvancedExtract1Filter=Codeblocks\
-  AdvancedExtract1Filter=Codeblocks\**

I have now decided to downgrade to version 1.03 to see what happens, whether it works on that version or not. It is actually currently running, so I will drop a reply in in about half an hour telling you how it went, however I am now just trying "Extract1.." to see what works, but when I did have "AdvancedExtract", I had no warnings. I looked in the logs and there were no problem messages/warnings.

Maybe I'm the bug?

Ok... Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
I thought there was a bug, maybe the bug is in my installer.ini file?
I have the above file, and it downloads the setup file, creates a new folder called "Codeblocks" and deletes the setup file (apparently). Maybe I'm the bug?

Can anyone see faults in my file?
I am sure it's not a double - I went into the google chrome setup file with 7-zip, then I did the same to the codeblocks setup file, so I know it's not a double extract. What is it I am doing wrong?

Thanks heaps, and as always, help is appreciated.
