Please close SABnzbd.exe first

Post by tbordo »

I am trying to upgrade to version 0.7.2.

However, I keep getting a dialogue telling me to close SABnzbd.exe even though I have shut SABnzbd down from within the program and then ensured it was shut down through Program Manager.

As far as I can tell, SABnzbd is NOT running on my computer.

Any thoughts?

Weird, I have no explanation.
Does a system reboot solve the issue?

System reboot doesn't help. Also, I did make sure that the "processes from all users" was checked to make sure that it wasn't still running somehow.

I tried to install with Task Manager open and noticed that when the update starts SABnzbd.exe shows up for a split second in Task Manager and then I get the dialogue. It almost seems as if SABnzbd.exe is starting and the update registers that it is running and then gives me the error dialogue. I hope that makes sense.

No idea if that will be helpful at all or not.

Otherwise, the program is working as it is supposed to and is completely great.

The altermative is to download the zipped distribution file
and unpack that.
