Hi

Not realy a bug in the app but after I installed the 2.26 update, the old 2.25 is still listed in the add/remove program in Win7.

I remove the 2.25 and the 2.26 was still availble and working.

    Same with the latest update of 2.27 (lauch from the dialog box that display the new version available)
    older version of 2.26 is still installed after 2.27 installation was finished.

    Did you try to remove it manually?

    yes as mention in the 1st post, since both version were in the remove/add programm, I remove the old one. After each update I remove the old one leaving the new version working.

    But still I shouldn't manually remove the old version... look like something is wrong in the update process.

    I tested it on my machine and the update works (from 2.26 to 2.27)
    Maybe it helps if you you uninstall all versions and then do a fresh install.

    I remove all version completely.
    Install 2.26. use the "check for update" and let the system install the new version.
    Same problems, both versions are present.

    Uninstall 2.27, leaving 2.26 installed.
    Download the zip file for the 2.27, run only the MSI, not the EXE.

    Version 2.27 installed correctly and 2.26 is no longer in add/remove program

    So it's either a problem with the EXE installer or the check update is launching a different installer ?!?!

    Feature request: have an icon in the add/remove prog... now it's the generic app icon (see picture on original post)

    Thanks,

    Did you install the first one for all users or only for the current user?

     
  • Jean-Francois Fortier

    All users

    problem is still present after the latest update

    check update uses silent install and default settings which is just current user and not for all users. for all user deployment you need to manually run the installer setup.exe
