jdrch Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I have Sync installed as a service on my Windows machines (great feature, thanks!). Is it necessary to manually stop the service before installing an update? Asking because I've had bad experiences with applications that run as services not installing correctly or borking their configs if I don't do that. Any ideas?

Remirus Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 jdrch, usually Sync checks if another instance is running. So if you proceed to update Sync while it is running, Sync will try to close the running process and install the update. However, if you have 2.3.0-2.3.3 version it is strongly recommended to backup storage folder(%appdata%\BitTorrent Sync Service) before the update and close Sync only after all folders are loaded, because those versions have a bug when Sync couldn't save information about folders.
