Hi everyone - I'm a longtime user of Sync and my setup is pretty straightforward...
A laptop and a PC with owner access to all the synced folders (5)
Another laptop and PC with owner access to just a couple of the above folders
2 Android phones with Read Only access to a couple of the folders
So last week all of the sudden I happened to notice (thank God!) that my laptop (the main one with owner access to all folders) stopped syncing. After some massive fun digging, I learned that BTSync.exe was no longer in the C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Roaming\BitTorrent Sync folder. Strange, but Ok, weird stuff can happen. I reinstalled the program with the latest version from the website 2.3.8 and it disappeared again. Long story short, I eventually got it to install by deleting the whole BitTorrent Sync folder from AppData and any other place I found it. I had to re-add all my folders, but this worked... for a while.
Today it happened again. This time I was opening the GUI and it flashed and then disappeared. I went into the AppData folder and BTSync.exe was missing again. This is the strangest thing... when I rerun the install, it puts it back in there and then it disappears seconds later and it doesn't matter which options I have selected in setup.
I thought maybe my Symantec AV was possibly involved so I disabled that and tried again... same issue.
Please don't tell me I'm crazy, but no matter how many times I try to reinstall it, that BTSync.exe file refuses to stay put.
Any thoughts?
