ANALOG-ENGINEER-CALC: Application update shows new update available, continuous loop

Part Number: ANALOG-ENGINEER-CALC

I downloaded ANALOG-ENGINEER-CALC after the install is indicates a newer version is available. I download and install again and get the same message.

From the webpage; I fill in the required information (name etc), the webpage redirects me to a download link; I download and install. Same newer version message appears at launch.

  • Hello, the technical support for this is out of office, please allow a couple days to support. Regards, Cynthia

  • Boris,

    I will be uploading a new version of the calculator in the next week.  I will send you an update at this time.  This will resolve your error.

  • Hi Art

    No change, I 'm still getting the update message. The date showing in the "About" is June 18, 2021 and version 1.6.0

  • Boris,

    Sorry for the delay on this.  I have not released the latest software yet, however, you should be able to eliminate the issue by doing a complete un-install with windows add and remove programs (apps and features).  I believe you have a very old version and a new version simultaneously on your computer.   Please try this.  Once you uninstall both versions, you will be able to install the latest released version.  I should have a new version soon, and I will update you at this time.

  • Hi Art

    I've done that, it still shows an update is needed... probably the one you're working on.  It's not stopping me from using the app, I can wait for the release; I brought up the issue since it seemed like it was stuck in an update loop.  Thanks for the additional information.

  • Boris,

    I have updated the software and I believe the new version will resolve your issue.  The software should be available early next week on TI.com (it takes some time to get it on the web).  I will send an additional update when it is on the web, I just wanted to give you an update.  Thanks for identifying the issue and sorry for the long delay in the fix.

  • Hi Art.

    I downloaded and installed the new version, I still get the pop-up for "new version available" . When I check the installed version (About) I get: Version 1.6.0 June 18 2021.  Let me know if this is the latest otherwise I'll try downloading again in a couple days.  Thanks again for working on this.

  • Boris,

    It is scheduled to be uploaded today, so if you test tomorrow morning it should work.  Sorry for the delay.  Please use windows "add and remove programs" to remove the old copy before installing the new one.  Let me know if the new version solves your issue; I think it will.

  • Hi Art

    I installed the latest version (1.7000) - thanks.  When I launch I still get the newer version pop-up but it shows a installed version of 1.7000 and a latest version of 1.5000, I thought you'd want to know. Here's a screenshot.

  • Boris,

    Did this pop-up only appear once after the software was installed?  Or, does it pop-up each time you start the program

  • Hi Art

    I just tested to verify; it pops up each time and now shows both as 1.70000

    Let me know if you need any details to help debug.  BTW - I'm on Windows 11 Pro ARM CPU

  • Boris,

    Do you have a folder in Documents called Calculator_Data?  Does it contain a file AnalogEngineersCalculatorINFO1.txt?  Can you attach this file?  Also, show the screen shot where both show 1.7.  We don't see this on our side, whereas I could reproduce the previous issue.

  • Hi Art

    It's in ...\Documents\LabVIEW Data\Calculator_Data

    AnalogEngineersCalculatorINFO1.txt
    [AnalogEngineersCalculatorINFO]
    LatestRevAvailable = 1.7
    

  • Boris,

    Can you confirm that when you press the "about" button, you get the pop-up saying version 1.7 July 28 (see below).  I want to make sure that you actually got the update.  At this point I am unable to reproduce the issue.

  • Hi Art.

    Confirmed, the About pop-up shows v1.7 July 28

  • Thanks,  Let me investigate.
