That is a mess up, due to a check in the code that was not triggered during testing. The update is in a transition state that was designed to be smoother, but ultimately got a bit messy if you are not already on 2.0.8.1. > [@Henr](#): > > But I can’t seem to update it. Much less to the stable version. > > I tried downloading the newest stable version from [Download Duplicati application](https://duplicati.com/download) and installing it (on Ubuntu 20.04). But when trying to open it, it said “First run setup”, as if I had never used Duplicati before. I can see that this is a bit confusing, but as @ts678 mentions, this only happens because you do not have a password set, and this is now required. The dialog was designed for new installations, but pops up on upgrades, so perhaps the wording should have been a bit clearer. Hope you get it working despite the trouble. > [@ts678](#): > > @kenkendk any chance the manifest files could get fixed soon to avoid confusing more users? Sadly no 😢 The manifest serves both the users of 2.0.8.1 (for whom it is working) and older installs where it does not work. At this point I only have the option of breaking 2.0.8.1 upgrade notices or the current state. At least in the current state you are alerted that there **is** an upgrade. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.duplicati.com/t/duplicati-versions-install-mess-up/20300)._
