endless loop of updating to 3.0.90

[browned 33]

Anyone else getting an endless loop of starting MBC and it wanting to update to 3.0.90. I have two machines doing it?

Try reinstalling MBC.

Is the update failing?  There are installation logs in %appdata%\MediaBrowser-InstallLogs\

[browned 33]

Not failing according to the log but when MBC restarts it is still 3.0.88

Is there also an msilog in there?

[browned 33]

in that same location? no.

That's pretty strange but that means the MSI is never actually running.  Nor is it reporting an error.

 

By any chance, did you delete the desktop icon from the previous install?

[browned 33]

No stock standard install for MBC and only 2 themes, Neo and ROC.

 

It looks like the install is ok, it runs, downloads, waits a little while then restarts MC and goes into MBC and it asks to update again.

The install isn't okay as it isn't running.  I'm not sure why as there are no errors but if there is no msi log and the version doesn't change, then the install never actually ran.  Perhaps there is an error in the Windows event log?

 

To get you going again, you could try installing from the setup file on the web site.

No problem using MBC 3.0.88 if I decline the update. Thought you might be interested.

 

application event log.

 

1. Beginning a Windows Installer transaction: C:\Users\deanjbrowne\AppData\Local\Temp\MediaBrowser\MediaBrowserClassic.msi. Client Process Id: 11928.

2. Product: Media Browser Classic -- Configuration completed successfully.

3. Windows Installer reconfigured the product. Product Name: Media Browser Classic. Product Version: 3.0.88.0. Product Language: 1033. Manufacturer: Media Browser Team. Reconfiguration success or error status: 0.

Watched the folder C:\Users\deanjbrowne\AppData\Local\Temp, and mediabrowser directory is created, but it disappears before I can see what is downloaded.

Okay, it is installing .88.  What happens if you run the setup from the web site?

[browned 33]

^{Same result, .88. still the functioning version after downloading the setup.exe from the website.}

does the update work like the server does and take a while for it to filter to people?

I am having the same problem. Previously had the same problem installing .88 except I did get it to install using the download from the web site but like browned this did not work with .90.

A day later the update worked. whatever was wrong seems to have resolved itself.
