thebrainykid Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I opened my uTorrent client to *continue* the download of some files. I got an error message sayingA new version of uTorrent has already been installed (build number here). Click OK to run the older version.. Something along those lines. So, I uninstalled uTorrent and reinstalled. Can someone please tell me what that was ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's the result of the new "update system" design, which no one really knows what it does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andreasvb Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 You need to replace the utorrent.exe wherever it is (most likely in %AppData%\uTorrent\ ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look !Ok, and what is it about the alert message that you don't understand??However what it is suggesting is that the "shortcut" you used does not point to the current running installation which has been updated automatically. You need check the properties of the link to see where it points to and the .exe filename that is launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomorrow Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 The problem is that if user selects No the older version is run from programfiles folder. If user selects Yes then newer version launches installer (unnessesary as a copy already exists in appdata/roaming/utorrent):So either remove programfiles folder and references to it from the installer or fix it so utorrent. exe is correctly moved from roaming to programfiles so there would be no conflict.

ciaobaby Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Actually if you read the user manual regarding 'portable' or 'encapsulated' install it WILL TELL YOU how to prevent conflicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
