Two BandLab Assistant in the control panel > Programs and features.

[HIBI]

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?

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

Not sure why I don't. (Just sharing this here to say its not everyone; I have no idea why. Could be any of a number of reasons. Probably not worth trying to determine.)

Thanks @scook I also thought same thing.
I will try to do it and check that uninstalling cleans 5.0.6 versions entries in the registry, or not.

@User 905133 Thanks for your report. Because it's the BandLab Assistant!

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?

[chuckebaby]

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

I deleted the older version with no issues afterwards...

I hope that someday the installer/updater for BandLab Assistant reaches the high standards achieved by other BandLab software.

And now... we have a garbage entry again. ?

[Kurre]

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.

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

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?

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

[John Vere]

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.
