HIBI Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) I noticed there are BandLab Assistant 5.0.6 and 5.1.1 in the control panel > Programs and features. It's same in my both primary and secondary computers. Maybe after updating 5.0.6 to 5.1.0, I guess. Anyone has this? I don't think its only me... I don't know why... Just wondering. How should I do? Should I delete all corresponding entry to 5.0.6 in registry? Edited November 19, 2019 by HIBI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scook Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Yes, I see both If it bothers you, delete them both (although the delete of 5.1.1 may fail after deleting 5.0.6) and re-install the current version 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not worth trying to determine.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try to do it and check that uninstalling cleans 5.0.6 versions entries in the registry, or not. 18 hours ago, User 905133 said: Not sure why I don't.

siordanescu Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 And the same thing happens to me ... I have both versions ... 5.06 and 5.11 ... I wonder if it bothers the fact that there are both versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckebaby Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 same here on latest update. I also received a firewall warning as well installing 5.11 (that was the first time) This is using Windows 8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bone Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I deleted the older version with no issues afterwards... Bob Bone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I hope that someday the installer/updater for BandLab Assistant reaches the high standards achieved by other BandLab software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIBI Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 And now... we have a garbage entry again. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurre Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I tried to only uninstall the oldest one. It went well but also affected the newest one. It lost its icon and probably got uninstalled as well because i decided to uninstall that too and got the message that it could not find it but it could remove the entry in the list. No problem to have them uninstalled. Everything is working ok without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Yes after you update CbB you can remove the Assistant. But you will need it installed next time you update. Even though we now update from CbB the Assistant needs to be there still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoens Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Tried to update 6.2.0 with Assistant only for it to keep vanishing w/o doing anything. Please explain how to update. Appears after closing it, it's still hanging in memory and needs a forced quit in Task Manager. Wonder if/when this will be fixed?

sjoens Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 How to update: 1. Uninstall Assistant 2. Download latest Assistant from: https://help.cakewalk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021665974-BandLab-Assistant-won-t-update-#:~:text=If you see an update,existing version of BandLab Assistant. 3. Install latest Assistant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vere Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Yes this method has become well know as there are dozens of threads regarding issues with updating the assistant. The auto update rarely works. Also look in the system tray and you'll often find the assistant is already running. Open Task manager and kill it before updating.
