1.8.3 Installer leaving old version addin files in place #245

Open Chrono9084 opened 4 months ago

Chrono9084 commented 4 months ago

Describe the bug Most users are reporting that upgrade from 1.7.x to 1.8.3 results in Revit throwing an addin error upon startup. The error is due to OkPy and Orkestra addins having duplicates within each addin folder.

Files that exist in the folder are: OrkestraRVT.addin OrOkPyAddin.addin OkPyAddin.addin (old) OrkestraAddin.addin (old)

Expected behavior Installer should clean old files so that the user doesn't have to.

Interesting. There have been major changes in architecture between 1.7.x and 1.8.x. It seems the installer doesn't uninstall 1.7.x correctly before installing 1.8.x .

The best course of action here is to make sure to uninstall 1.7.x (or any previous version) before installing 1.8.x .

I agree with you on uninstalling 1.7 first.....but getting all users to do the same thing isn't realistic lol. You have to protect them from themselves. ;)

Absolutely agree ! We're going to looking into the reason this is happening with the installer. It doesn't have this issue all the time but this has been reported often enough to indicate there is something we need to improve.
