Can not update from 32 bit 1.1.0/1.1.1 to 64 bit 1.1.5

Post by maser »

Maybe this is by design?

On my Windows 8 test machine, I had 1.1.0 installed (32 bit). I had updated this to 1.1.1 (32 bit) at some point.

This morning, I installed the new 1.1.5 *64bit* version on top of this install. "Programs and Features" shows that I have 3 versions of UltraVNC installed (1.1.0 on 9/24, 1.1.1 on 10/24 and 1.1.5 on 11/12).

However, "About WinVNC" shows that I'm still running "UltraVNC Win32 Server 1.1.0"


So, two questions:

1) With these beta versions, should there be an expectation that we can upgrade from one version to the next (if so, why doesn't this at least show "1.1.1"?

2) Can I upgrade from a 32-bit version to a 64-bit version? Or must I "remove" all 32 bit versions before installing the 64-bit versions (which I plan on doing anyway...)

The beta versions have another app number, so MS sees them as another app.
No upgrade possible, you need to remove them via "remove program", they have a seperate uninstall.
This was a mistake in the first beta installers...

32 and 64 are seperate apps, the have a different install folder "program files (x86)/program files".
You can have both installed, The service use the last "install service"...
On upgrade from 1.1.5 ->1.1.6 you upgrade the x64 when you update with the x64 installer
and x86 with the x86 installer.
