VSCodium updates not working

0x416c69 commented 3 weeks ago

Describe the bug I press Install update and it gets stuck (i.e. updates don't happen, it's like it's failing somewhere silently)

Please confirm that this problem is VSCodium-specific

[x] This bug doesn't happen if I use Microsoft's Visual Studio Code. It only happens in VSCodium.

Please confirm that the issue/resolution isn't already documented

[x] I checked the Docs page and the Troubleshooting page and my issue is not mentioned there.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Press Install update
Get stuck on "Installing Update..."

Expected behavior To get updated, obviously

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 24H2 26100.1457
Architecture: x64
Version:
App Manager: My hands, downloaded from the web
Sandboxed: ? no

Additional context I have a CodeSetup-stable-21b1e2955ddda36eeba3a94e643128e465285b93.exe (Size: 111,841,280 bytes, SHA1: 4bab1d9b0a6057008b4c8a3fc1cd438432cfd68c) under AppData\Local\Temp\codium-stable-undefined-x64

Codium update never worked for me since 1 month ago (which was the first time I installed codium)

same for me on macOS 14.5.

My VSCodium updated last 4 months ago onto 1.88.1 (could also be a full re install then, I'm not sure)

@daiyam As a temporary workaround, should we just reinstall the latest package manually? Or only macOS is affected?

daiyam commented 3 weeks ago

@0x416c69 #1917 is only for macOS.

I'm assume you have installed it with a .msi and I can confirm there is an issue. The CodeSetup-stable-21b1e2955ddda36eeba3a94e643128e465285b93.exe is correct binary and when renaming as an .msi, you can run it manually. But the command line (msiexec.exe /i CodeSetup-stable-21b1e2955ddda36eeba3a94e643128e465285b93.exe or with the renamed .msi) used to run the update generates the error (This installation could not be opened.)

After a quick google, it seems a recurrent error with .msi, not specific with VSCodium. Not sure how to fix that...

I recently opened #1994 but reading you guys made me consider something... Does anyone can confirm if auto-update only works if the installer was used, but not if its a portable folder instead?

@Novack I've added a new comment directly on your issue.
