Updater Fails

[bhogsett]

I am using 2.0.2041.0 and the updater has stopped working.

When I click on the updater button I get this error message:

Server Error in '/' Application. <hr color="silver" size="1" width="100%">

I suspect .net, but am not sure what is happening.

Any suggestions?

Bill,
Did you try out one of the newer 2.1 betas and roll back?

[bhogsett]

No, I haven't tried any of the 2.1 betas.

Are you suggesting I do that or suggesting that may be the problem?

Bill

[Rupp]

No there was a problem if a user loaded one of the 2.1.x beats and then rolled back to a 2.0.x install. I would suggest looking at the KB articles on the HomeSeer home page under support. One of them shows how to reinstall .net which may be corrupt.

[bhogsett]

Thanks, I installed 2.1 and now the updater works.

So, I am not sure what happened.
