Loop restart on launch / update #333

Open Vic2077 opened 11 months ago

Vic2077 commented 11 months ago

The app is now restarting infinitely afer trying to update itself.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Accept the self-Update prompt.
  2. Wait until update is finished.
  3. App restarts and goes into a loop.

OS: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (x64)

Not sure since which update this issue has appeared since I wasn't using the app for many months (if not several years), but today it suddenly started itself (maybe I have accidentally clicked its icon on the TaskBar, though), prompted me for a self-update and when I've accepted the prompt it started rebooting until I've closed it after like 10th reboot in a row. Now I get the update/reboot loop every time I try to launch the app.

Very odd. Simple fix: Download the installer and run it again, or download the .zip/.7z containing the programs files and replace your existing program files. https://github.com/TCNOco/TcNo-Acc-Switcher/releases

The default install location should be: C:\Program Files\TcNo Account Switcher

As for fixing the issue, do you know what version you're updating from?

Vic2077 commented 11 months ago

Not sure. Well, I've tried replacing the files manually, using TcNo-Acc-Switche_2023-07-05_00.7z

Nothing has changed (I still see that updating loop on app launch attempt).

Should I try to remove the whole folder and do a fresh install?

Vic2077 commented 11 months ago

UPD: Fresh install changed nothing, but I've got an error message during installation. Something like http://puu.sh/JNzOw/a9ee3ab444.png (this particular screenshot is not mine, because I forgot to take a screenshot - I took it from Google, but the error is similar - something about some "Entry Point" in KERNEL32.DLL. Also my m,essage was in Russian, so I don't know if my screenshot would be of more use to you than this one).

Another re-install didn't show this error message, but the app still loop-restarts on launch, trying to update CEF.

I've also tried to replace all the files with files from TcNo-Acc-Switcher_and_CEF_2023-07-05_00.7z but that also changed nothing.

I guess it's just another app that doesn't work on Windows 7 anymore, because of the recent Google Chorme updates. (I get this Entry Point in Kernel32.dll error for many apps lately. I've been told I need to switch to Windows 10 or 11 for them to work.)
