KoolPal Posts: 16 07/01/2024	KoolPal Posts: 16 Hi, I ALSO seem to be stuck on 8.00.8738 and unable to update after this. I am on Windows 10 with the default Windows Defender AV and nothing else. There have been no warning. If it helps, I found that the update download has been very very slow AFTER version 8.00.8738 and I am not sure if it is contributing to the update failure in any way. I have tried to read through the topic - update problems again https://www.ugmfree.it/Forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=881 but found the process very painful Is there any simpler way to update? I can see there is an update folder - ~Update and within in SyMenu.Updater.exe Is there any manual way to run this updater? Thanks a lot!

SyMenu.Updater.exe is a simple executable that works with a command line to copy the new package over the old one. To work it needs that: SyMenu should be closed; the new SyMenu package needs to be already downloaded and unzipped inside an empty and reserved folder. This is the documentation for the SyMenu.Updater.exe executable: Args[0] - symenu folder path - The folder where SyMenu is installed Args[1] - update folder path - The folder where the new SyMenu version files are available (unzipped) Args[2] - application name - The program name. It's used for titles, error messages, progress messages so you can put whatever you like. Args[3] - executable file - It's the file the updated calls when the update process is finished and it's the symenu.exe because we want SyMenu starts at the end Args[4] - version released - It's the version of the updated symenu files. It's important to trigger the one time activities like file clean up Args[5] - not defined Args[6] - not defined Args[7] - not defined And here we have a full example: SyMenu.Updater.exe "D:\SyMenu\" "D:\Misc\Down\SyMenuNewVersion" "SyMenu" "SyMenu.exe" "8.00" Let us know if you'll successfully update SyMenu with this method because it can be a useful workaround for other users too.
