2.0.2.1 was probably the last (and maybe only) .msi install. Updates done by Duplicati go elsewhere, and thank you for surveying them. At least one of the other people with this issue went way back too.
was not the test below. The key difference was not a CLI start, but which .exe got started. The order shown says that perhaps below was just repeating the original test from DuplicatiCrash.zip, running:
C:\Windows\System32>"C:\Program Files\Duplicati 2\Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe"
so it’s no surprise that it gave the same error. The intent was to start the 2.0.5.1 version, not the old. After the uninstall and reinstall from .msi, the chance is gone, but the good news is so is the error…
Knowing now where things went (and to help any other person who reads this), the intent was to try:
C:\ProgramData\Duplicati\updates\2.0.5.1\Duplicati.GUI.TrayIcon.exe
so that an older Program Files version (which might want version 10) would not start. Checking Task Manager for leftover old Duplicati processes would also be good, and I forgot to mention that as well.
Wonderful to hear. You also did the uninstall first, which used to be needed to avoid missing file issues. That’s supposed to be fixed now, but it seemed safer to not add any worry, with so much else going on.
I’m glad it’s back, and thanks for adding some more bits of information, as we try to figure out the issue.
