Workstation Won't Update?

Post by Sauvageaus »

Host(Windows 7) computer updated to 7.06 or whatever it is now. Go over to the Workstation computer (Windows 8) and it just says it can not find update and closes automatically. Then when you try to open up the program it won't start, I do Task Mananger and end task then it will open but same thing. I've also restarted the computer and also same thing.

Try restarting the Updater on that workstation. Right click on the blue/green circle and select Restart. Give it a few minutes to cycle and see if that helps. Once that is done, you can also view the log to see if the update made it to the workstation.

I had some problems with the AutoUpdater as well.

Not exactly sure what I did, but I did task manager and end task on the Mitchell1 after I had started Mitchell1 it asked for a update like it always had and then it said something and the program closed (no clue what it said). Well it didn't do anything and I came back to the computer and Mitchell wouldn't load at all still. So I did a end task on Mitchell1 and after I did that it said applying update.

Now it has the update, but like I said I had not done anything different then before.

My experience was similar. Manager would not open after a failed update. You didn't do anything other than force close Manager a few times. Likely it was the time that elapsed that cured your issue.

7.07 came in yesterday....I closed out of the workstation and then updated the host one. Once that was done I loaded the workstation it asked to be updated I said yes, then program closed. Wasn't able to reload it, so I hit restart on MSUpdater and then end tasked Shopstream and then the update started. Not sure why we have to end task the program on the work station?

Yes, same here. I ended up just loading the update manually. Tech support is aware.
