  • @VectorStyler
    When I attempt to download 1.2.008 beta, I go to the pinned topic "Vectorstyler 1.2 beta" and click on the link "Windows 10/11"

    It starts to download a file called "Vectorstyler.msi" (no version number, so hard to keep straight).
    Clicking to install this file seems to install Vectorstyler 1.1.117, but not the 1.2.008 Beta.

    I am in the wrong place?



  • I was about to post the same issue ☺



  • Thanks @Pat for confirming.
    @VectorStyler, a bit more detail:
    I originally tried to update the by running the 1.2.007 Beta app, and then it presented me with the pop-up to update to 1.2.008 Beta. I clicked "update" then "install" and it seemed to have installed the 1.1.117 update instead...
    It was after this I tried to do the manual install by going to the "VectorStyler 1.2 Beta" forum link, and it seems like this is the same mistake.



  • @Victor-Vector I can confirm this. I did repair several times 1.117 ☺


  • administrators

    @Pat @Victor-Vector Should be fixed now, sorry for the mixup.



  • @VectorStyler no problem at all. Thanks for the updates ☺



  • @VectorStyler
    Thank you! I can confirm it works now if you download the file from the pinned topic "Vectorstyler 1.2 beta" and click on the link "Windows 10/11"

    I highly recommend putting version numbers on the .msi files. ☺



  • @VectorStyler I appreciate the new update with all the bug fixes and improvements. Thank you!
