after updating cmder

[kw-andy]

Cmder is constantly asking me for an update.

For the 5 times I tried , it is extracting the files and at the end I have this error...

After the unsucessful update, cmder cannot be launched again. I have to reinstall everything.

Can anyone tell me how can I do the upgrade successfully or simply bypass it?

Try updating manually from https://conemu.github.io/en/Downloads.html

Done that matey. it does not do anything ... If you have any other ideas, I'm all ears

[Jackbennett]

What's D:? Do you have permission to create .exe files there? make any text file and rename it .exe does it work at the path d:\cmder\cmder\vendor?

[kw-andy]

D drive. I do have writing permission so all the programs that I have

[Jackbennett]

Is your anti-virus kicking in about those 3 files?

[kw-andy]

nope

[Jackbennett]

Can you delete the 3 existing exe's a copy them out manually, perhaps it's having trouble overwriting them.

[kw-andy]

done. It just gave me the same error. And I lost my config as well

Get a fresh download of 160616

The hash should match:

algo	hash
sha256	8F33446E189C1EF18A5EA0E1D33563CC4CBF35276D22187FD9152D8D8E333B93
sha1	C039C6B7B3FC160738918360B2607BDA92783511

powershell Get-FileHash ~\downloads\ConEmuPack.160619.7z -Algorithm SHA1 of you need a the command. But I think 7zip sticks that in you context menu.

I'm losing sanity. cmder looks good but in term of stability, it can gain improvement, much improvement actually... grrrhhh

[Jackbennett]

Ok I can't help you with that.

Your operating system it saying your access is denied to 3 exe files. There's nothing I can do. We don't even make those 3 files. or 7zip. Obviously conemu isn't running is it? since you're trying to replace its files.

You wouldn't have lost your config if you just removed the 3 files I said.

[kw-andy]

Jack, I tried but I could not. That's an easy one to say... And last but not least, the issue is not close

[Mikkolehtimaki]

I have this same problem. The ideas here do not seem to work..

[MartiUK]

7-zip does not have the permissions to write those PEs, you are either running conemu/cmder at the same time or the permissions are broken. Whenever something like this happens, I suggest extracting cmder in a location your user can access, be it your user folder, your documents folder, or as I have always done it, onto your Desktop. Windows is 100% stupid with permissions, especially on the root of disks.

[kw-andy]

Sounds good @MartiUK . I will install winzip.

[MartiUK]

@kwokandy That's not what I was suggesting, but give it a try I guess.

[kw-andy]

Sorry in the middle of a few things.

I've installed the cmder software on a separate folder and each time, I had the issue. Let's do that: 7zip, I don't know much about it but thinking about it now, it may not be reliable.

My workaround for now is to have no upgrade. Since the last time when I almost lost all my hairs, cmder has been working like a treat.

I'll do a backup next week and once done:

1. Install winzip
2. Make the upgrade
3. Keep you posted, regardless of the results
