Same problem here.
I have re-run setup and still no Duplicati icon and no Duplicati service listed

Welcome to the forum @goobs

A question on your comment is what exactly you mean by “re-run setup” in terms of various releases. Does that mean that fresh install from .msi (of 2.0.4.32? 2.0.4.33?) as opposed to GUI upgrade fails?

There has been more discussion of this on the mentioned issue, plus data-gathering steps given here. Answers so far are kind of thin so far, so please add what you can, either here or on the GitHub issue.

At the moment there are lots of vague reports (so something’s wrong) but not enough specifics to say.

Thanks for the reply. I have followed up on the GitHub thread.
