Can't update N.I.N.A.

[Stargazer33]

Hi, is anyone else having trouble updating N.I.N.A. to the BETA008 version?

When I  click on the update notification in the title bar, the update window opens, but apart from the title bar and the Download button the rest of the pop-up window is blank white! When I can click on the Download button, an 'X' appears in the button and then after a few seconds it changes back to 'Download' and nothing happens!

I have tried to download from the N.I.N.A. website but nothing happens when I click the download button there.

I have also done a repair in the programs options in windows, but that didn't sort it out.

If I completely uninstall N.I.N.A. Will I loose all my saved sequences?

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I would be grateful.

I have had update problems  on my observatory PC which sound similar to yours yours, but I don't get any glitches on the screen. It seems that if I haven't restarted NINA in a few days an update download will complete correctly but the button doesn't switch to 'update' it just returns to 'dowmload'. If I stop and start NINA then try again I have to download again but the update button works correctly. 

In case it helps...

Thanks. I have tried starting & restarting a number of times but it still doesn't work. The fact that none of the download buttons on the N.I.N.A. website work either is concerning me somewhat. I may just have to wait for the BETA009 update and try again then.

In the meantime thanks again for your suggestion. 🙂

I've had this issue before. As you've suggested, if there's no obvious bugs in your current version, wait for a couple of revisions and download then.

I have had that problem a few times in past and with the latest update. I give up and wait to the next day, that usually fixes it 😉

There have been some issues with some hosting servers so Stefan put a link up on the discord server.

This "might" work:

Thanks Scotty, I've at least got the main release back. I tried uninstalling the program thinking I had kept a copy of the installation files, only to find out that I hadn't! None of the downloads are working on the site, not even the x86 downloads!

It still won't do the beta update, but I can live with that and hopefully the file server will be up again soon.
