update progress bar never completes

Post by twl845 »

Hi, I attempted to update my PDF-XChange from 2.0.47 to 2.0.49, and when I clicked to start the install the progress bar continued to renew itself over and over. I finally canceled the update. It's only 18 Mb. It should have completed in one or two sweeps of the progress bar. I waited 10 minutes. Is your server down?
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Hi,

I suspect your original install occurred using the MSI based installer and I regret at this moment in time - you cannot use the update option - you must downlaod the full install locally to your hard drive from our server and then run the install.
If posting files to this forum - you must archive the files to a ZIP, RAR or 7z file or they will not be uploaded - thank you.

Best regards

John - I did a clean install from the web site to v2.0.49, and all is well. Thanks for the heads up.

Paul - Sorry for some reason I couldn't navigate to the updates folder following the path. But that's OK because as I mentioned above, I installed the latest version after uninstalling the older version. Thanks for responding.

Glad you sorted it out twl845!

If you downloaded and installed from the .zip/.exe installer this time Live updates should work. If not you will have to manually keep updating the .msi installer for each new build - at least for now.

Best,
Stefan
