Is this possible?

I’ve uninstalled canary and reinstalled Beta, but the tray executable doesn’t start.

Yes, that should work fine. Maybe you have an “Updates” folder in `%APPDATA%Duplicati\Updates` which has a version you don’t want. Simply remove that folder and it should work with a re-installed Beta version.

No, that folder is empty.

If you run the TrayIcon.exe from the commandline, do you see any error messages?

I think this is the same as:

When changing the channel from Canary to Beta and updating to the latest beta I get an error on Linux. “Service duplicati status” is giving an error that the database version is 5 but the highest supported verion is 4.  
Is there a workaround for this?
