Updater does not execute on Windows 7

[Baptistou]

Expected behaviour

QOwnNotes should update.

Actual behaviour

I installed QOwnNotes on both Windows 7 and Windows 10 into the same location with the same permissions, I encounter the same issue described in #2075 on 7 but the updater works as expected on 10.

Steps to reproduce

1. Click on update notification at bottom right
2. Click on update button, then downloading proceeds
3. A dialog asks to restart QOwnNotes, click on OK
4. QOwnNotes closes then nothing happens

I tried to move QOwnNotes to another location but same issue. After multiple unsuccessful attempts, I noticed that all downloaded zip files are accumulated inside AppData\Local\Temp. However, when I executed manually update.bat with the 3 parameters provided in the logs, the update succeeded.

update.bat "C:\\Users\\Baptiste Thémine\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\QOwnNotes-Pupnqw.zip" "C:\\Baptiste\\Programmes\\QOwnNotes" "C:\\Users\\Baptiste Thémine\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\QOwnNotes-Pupnqw-unzip.exe"

Output from the debug section in the settings dialog

Thank you for reporting, but I haven't a Windows 7 box laying around any more to test it. 😬 It's hard to tell what is preventing the updater.bat execution on your system. The updater.bat is supposed to be run in the background after 3) before QOwnNotes quits. You could enable logging to a file in the settings and see if an error is logged before QOwnNotes quits.

Thank you for reporting, but I haven't a Windows 7 box laying around any more to test it. :grimacing:

That is understandable as Microsoft support of Windows 7 ended this year. I see that Windows XP is not supported anymore but I don't see any mention of Vista, 7 or 8. Could it be possible to add a System Requirements table to the documentation ?

You could enable logging to a file in the settings and see if an error is logged before QOwnNotes quits.

I already enabled logging to a file but there is no output nor error after initializeWindowsUpdateProcess. I will try to investigate a little more on the next update.

The binary built on AppVeyor (see https://www.qownnotes.org/installation/windows.html#windows-xp) with an old Qt version still should work with WinXP. And since Qt still supports Windows 7 it should also run there.

Could it be possible to add a System Requirements table to the documentation?

There are some at https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes#minimum-software-requirements

I already enabled logging to a file but there is no output nor error after initializeWindowsUpdateProcess. I will try to investigate a little more on the next update.

In the Debug options in the settings dialog you can also fake an old version to trigger an update.

hum, I too had the same problem here, updating from 21.5.1 to 26.6.3 on windows 7. The logs shows:

[pbek]

Are you sure your current user has permissions to C:\\Programas\\QOwnNotes without "Administrator Access"?

[Baptistou]

I did some tests again and even if I launch QOwnNotes as administrator, the updater does not execute on Windows 7. Same result when changing the location or the permissions of the folder, so this issue does not seem to be related to permissions.

[pbek]

You would need to build QOwnNotes yourself to play more with the part that starts the updater. 😅
