FYI:

Windows 7, an old SAB version (060 beta 2) running as service. I tried to install the 065 version (as admin, with elevated rights), but I got:

Code: Select all

Output folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd
Extract: CHANGELOG.txt... 100%
Extract: COPYRIGHT.txt... 100%
Extract: GPL2.txt... 100%

Extract: SABnzbd-console.exe... 100%
Can't write: C:\Program Files (x86)\SABnzbd\SABnzbd-service.exe

Solved by first stopping both SABnzbd services, then installing the new version, and then starting both SABnzbd services again.

So, @shypike: is this designed behaviour, or should the Windows SABnzbd install procedure first stop the services?

It won't stop the service.
This feature is for people who know what they're doing.
This aspect is also described in our run-as-service page on the Wiki.

OK, I found it: "You can upgrade SABnzbd without changing the service registrations, but you do need to stop both services first"

Thanks!
