Two installations of OWS after upgrade
Posted: 27 Aug 2020, 12:06
I just wanted to mention an issue which I noticed with the recent upgrade from 1.1.8 to 1.2.1.
I had automatic updating turned on in my OWS settings, so I was prompted to update.
One of the questions that the updater asked was “Install for current user or all users ?”
I selected “current user” (for no particular reason). However I did not realise that previously I had selected “all users” when installing 1.1.8 (again for no particular reason).
However the result is that I now have 2 installations of OpenWebstart, i.e.
• OpenWebStart 1.1.8 in C:\Program Files\OpenWebStart
• OpenWebStart 1.2.1 in C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Programs\OpenWebStart
What is more strange to me is that I now have 2 entries in the Windows Start Menu – one for 1.1.8 and one for 1.2.1.
Is this expected behaviour or a bug ?
