And it works (at least on my system ) greez 5.0.6 works fine here... Don't use BA on startup, so had to launch the assistant which issued an update notification, but on selecting update, presumably a self update, it failed, followed by an instruction to download BA (bandlab-assistant-windows-latest.exe) and manually install via the exe, which is ok... Just remember to run as Administrator. Was this your experience, or was this just a glitch going from 5.0.4 (which was my initial BA install) to 5.06, if anyone knows??

Kurre Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Bandlab assistant needs to be manually downloaded every time for me when it needs update. Cakewalk usually doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBH Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Usually the band lab update works from it's own prompt : this time around it declared an error of some sort and prompted that I update manually, which worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keni Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 This was the second update in a row that failed for me and I was forced to do it manually. Not a big deal. Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martsave martin s Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 me too getting error,downloaded it and all is good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balinas Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 BandLab assistant update has given the error message 3 times now. Manual works fine, but it’s 3 extra clicks. Getting older makes things like this get old much quicker. Cakewalk update has now needed a manual click twice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkerl Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 I've had this error message with former updates, usually manual download works fine. I tend to believe it's a Windows thing (Browser i.e.?). Don't know. But it doesn't bother me, the update finally works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Argo Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I guess it has something to do with your Windows firewall setting. I turn it off, and BA successfully updates. Looks like we must set Windows firewall to allow BA to download the update. Your mileage may vary tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I just turned off the firewall all the way, and BA updates normally (no more error). I turned on the firewall after updates, and add BA in allowed list.

Keni Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 1 hour ago, pwalpwal said: no idea for sure, just speculating... but for example, if it did rely on some dll installed by chrome, that wasn't up to date (eg, user not letting chrome auto-update) with the latest bla requirement (that uses the lastest version of that dll), one might experience such odd issues btw, if you don't use chrome, uninstall it, it's just a data-mining tool, no reason to have unless you want to share your data with google I see what you're thinking. Could be. Honestly I installed chrome only to checkout bandlab. Which seems very cool though I don't use it. Not enough hours in my day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key entries I found at the update time were: [2019-08-31 15:21:29.029] [info] Checking for update [2019-08-31 15:21:29.121] [error] Error: TypeError: this.app.whenReady is not a function the rest in the log I looked at is code entry points (+ corresponding personal info) ... Personally I happy to download the exe & run it manually, that's 99.9% likely to work, if it's predecessor had no problem, rather than rely on auto-update code to do the job, and going forward that's just what I might do... ?
