hello everyone,

I'm trying to install the update from both executable and ISO always returns this error.

- Veeam with PostgresSQL Database

Instead if I launch the same executable with a SQL database it works.

has it happened to anyone yet? Is there any bug?

thx

 

p.s.

solved by stopping the following services

@Link State One of my customers had the same issue when I installed the new version. But it’s using SQL Express, not PostgreSQL. I tried to reboot the server and ran install again (I ensured all services were up and running). The issue is gone. just FYI.

Done a few upgrades with Postgres and not had an issue with it.  Maybe a support case can help determine the issue and inform others here?

Interesting case, it is supposed to stop all services automatically before start installing the upgrade.

This seems not to stop services completely during the installation process.

exactly.

I didn't delve into it unfortunately I was in a hurry to update the production environment.
I have more infrastructure to update today I updated 3 of them,
next week I have at least 6 more. but all with SQL express.
let's see if the case comes up again.

stay tuned.

Nice to see a workaround in case this comes up for me when I upgrade. Thanks @Link State

I haven’t run into this but it does feel like something here manually stopping services/processes may resolve the issue if rebooting the server prior to the update doesn’t.

hi @dloseke  & @CarySun  in my case even with the vbr server reboot ,i had the same behavior i had to kill the services.
