Re: Driver Station Update fails to install

An update. I just did a repair of the NI install as was suggested. After repair there is a "new" program (different than the two mentioned in the last post) called DriverStation.exe. This is what we would expect. However, it is interesting to note it is the same size as the other two but the windows version is 15.0.0.49159. When I run this program it displays version 09021500. This is what we expect for the update. I then renamed it to driver station.exe and ran it again and it displayed 09021500. Switched to Driver user and the DS runs there and displays 09021500.

This all appears to be correct and what I expected on day 1 of this adventure. Program with 15.0.0.49156 would seem to be old version and 15.0.0.49159 would seem to be updated version and the version displayed by the 49159 exe seems to confirm that. We want version ending in 1500.

However, I still have a program file with windows v 15.0.0.49156 that displays its version number as 05031500. This does not seem to make sense, but the fact that this happens would seem to be a major factor in the confusion I have had.

Things seem headed in the right direction. Now to do this fix on our competition DS and see if all good there.
