    Could be. It is shown when selected.



  • Not sure why I always have issues with upgrading VS on my Win11 machine.

    If I open the .005 beta, I get a notification that a new version is available. I click yes to download and install. The install finishes, but when I double click the icon, it opens up the .005 version, and shows me the new version message again.

    When I download the new version manually, and run that, I get a dialogue that gives me the choice of repair or remove. Choosing the repair option, the installer does something, but when I start the app again, it is still version .005 and the new version dialogue appears again.

    A new folder is created in /Program Files/NumericPath/VectorStyler 1.2, which only contains 34mb of files, but no executable.

    *edit
    A third icon appeared on my desktop. When I doubleclick that, a UAC window appears (I think it's called UAC), which asks me if I want the .msi file to apply changes. When I click yes, I get a dialogue that tells me the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network source that is unavailable". It is not, it's on my C drive. When I click OK, it tells me the installation package is invalid. When I click cancel, I get an unrecoverable error message.

    *edit 2
    The update from 114 to 115 works as expected.

    @Gremriel I did test the update on Windows for the beta. Not sure what could cause this.

    There was an entry for VS 1.2.006 in the Windows App Uninstaller. I uninstalled both betas, downloaded it again, and the beta works now.
