After upgrading the server side, i see that the desktop app has a new version available. If I try to upgrade it fails unable to find the prtg_desktop_full_installer.msi. do i have to do something on the server side for existing desktop to find the file?

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Have you tried uninstalling the desktop app, and then installing the new version afterwards?
Kind regards,

No, I was prompted from within the application. "would you like to install the new version now?" Yes/No then it continues about 75% and the prompts for the "PRTG_Desktop_Full_installer.msi" it looking to use a file that doesn't exist at c:\programdata\package cache\

i had received the update without any issue, but the desktop app then failed (sort of), it just said 'loading' in the display window forever, and did not display any information, but the fix above worked
i have false alarms for the reason of intermittent connection issues on the probe that usually resolve themselves in short order, the corrective action is clear, but in the mean time i find the email notifications do a great job of filtering the noise
Hi aj,
Since your probe connection issue does not seem to be related to the topic in this KB, please open a support ticket by writing a email to [email protected], or by creating a new KB post.

Hi totalnet32,
Were you able to uninstall the PRTG Desktop app, and then install the new version?

aj - I don't see what you are referring to when you mentioned "fix above worked"

that would not solve my issue, I was notified by the desktop install about the new version being availabe and it tried to guide me , it failed. by manually uninstalling and reinstalling would defeat the whole system notification.
