rlebrette 0 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Hi, I tryed to upgrade my install from 1.x to 2.x but faced the lack of corporate proxy support. So I'm trying to go back to my previous setup based on 1.x. It worked perfectly on two boxes, but the third is failing, I've uninstalled everything, checked most of the registry keys that could be related to synergy or symless. The 2.x uninstall doesn't appear anymore, there's no more windows service trace, but the 1.x installer is still claiming that 2.x is still running... What does it check?

GranPaSmurf 108 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 You are using Windows, right? How many machines? Link to post Share on other sites
rlebrette 0 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yep Windows 10, it's better for Synergy as a windows service. 3 boxes... Link to post Share on other sites
GranPaSmurf 108 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It sounds to me like that computer has some lingering Synergy files. I'd go through it again. I'm lazy, I use a free installer program., Revo Installer. Link to post Share on other sites
rlebrette 0 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I also use Revo Uninstaller, but no way fix on the third box. Link to post Share on other sites
GranPaSmurf 108 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hmm. I wonder what would happen if you reinstalled 2.0 then Revo uninstalled it. Then installed ver 1.0 Link to post Share on other sites
rlebrette 0 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Thx for the idea, but unfortunately it doesn't help. The 2.x installer is also failing now, It starts without any error notices, notifies that it is backing up some stuff, and stop before installing anything, it states that the product has been installed. There's no trace in filesystem nor in Windows installed application. It would help to know what this installer is checking for... Edited March 19, 2018 by rlebrette Link to post Share on other sites
GranPaSmurf 108 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Others have posted that, when doing an in-place update, when the installer halts, they stop the existing Synergy service. Then the installer works.  https://symless.com/forums/topic/5429-problem-updating-to-207-win-10/?do=findComment&comment=24624 But that is not the way you are installing, right?

rlebrette 0 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 No the installer is not stuck, it's just exiting after the first installation phase. Indeed I installed the software on another box to see how it works normally. It seems to run a first phase then the second phase is really installing the software. Link to post Share on other sites
