HyperHQ installing updates in wrong folder

To confirm. You went to control panel and uninstalled HQ. Then installed 2.0.33. Then updated to 2.0.34? The fix is only applied if you use a newer installer

Yes that is correct. I uninstalled it from the control panel. Then installed 2.0.33 to my G drive. Then updated to 2.0.34 and it installed that to my C Program Files folder.

Yes I get the same result

I was able to copy and paste 2.0.34 files from the Program Files folder to my existing HyperHQ install.  Overwriting the files worked. Then I removed the Program Files install.

Not a real solution but it worked.

I run uninstaller for .34 in Program Files HQ install and my .33 on my custom x:\ drive install

Installed the exe .34 that gets downloaded to C:\Users\thatman84\AppData\Local\hyperhq-updater\pending & select my custom path

The same bug persists when updating from .34 to .35.

Updates automatically get installed to C:\Program Files

Program files? We dont use that....

You mean program data, right?

It installed itself in my Program Files folder every time. It has never installed anything in my Program data folder.

Interesting. What version of windows are you running?

Windows 11 Pro 24H2

When you install from the install wizard the 1st time you install

the default address is c:/Program Files which I then click the browse button to locate my custom folder.

i assume it’s not saving that custom address and reading it when the auto updater/installer runs

I'm rebuilding the installer. I'll try to have something for you later today

Updating to 2.0.36 from 2.0.35 is still installing itself into the Program Files folder even though my HyperHQ folder is on my G drive. Also one additional folder I seen for the first time that the installer installed was in my Program Data folder. It created a  C:\ProgramData\HyperSpin\HyperHQ folder even though it was empty and there was nothing in it. It also installed several files into my appdata folder but that has been happening for a while. 

please retest by installing the latest. 2.0.39

The problem has been resolved for me. When I updated to 2.0.39 the updater installed everything in the correct folder. It is still installing lots of files into my C Users folder and appdata folder but I guess that is by design for now until it gets more portable to where everything is stored along side HyperSpin and HyperHQ if they are installed on a drive other than C. Thanks!
