It is the same script which bakunin wrote. I just copied and pasted in Notepad ++, also I changed the http link and files name.

Ahem...

Have you prepared the version-files? If yes, what have you written in them? You are supposed to write there a single line with a number on it, like "1" or "123" or whatever (to be precise, whatever fits into a signed 32-bit integer value as this is the value range for shell variables).

I haven't mentioned this thinking that it would be obvious. Presumably it wasn't.

I hope this helps.
