Hi,
When trying to upgrade to the newest version, I encountered 2 issues.
1) RDM reports that it's up to date. I hope that it's due to phasing or some other transient issue and can be easily fixed.
2) When launching updater manually, it downloads RDM, but it doesn't really update it. After the updater finishes, RDM stays at 2025.2.30. Sorry the screencast is aborted, but I hope it's enough. I'll try deinstalling and installing it afresh.

Update: manual launching of Devolutions.Updater.exe might have lacked administrator permissions (I did not elevate the command prompt) but it should either relaunch asking for admin rights, or display an appropriate error.
After launching it with administrator permissions it deleted the RDM and finished. I am pasting the Install.log - the only thing that remained in c:\Program Files\Devolutions\Remote Desktop Manager folder. Note the line Error 1316. The specified account already exists.

We just released the 2025.3 today but have yet to configure it as "auto-update" so that app won't see it when doing "check for update".
You can either ignore the warning message for now or install the latest using the web page. https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/download/

Update: trying to upgrade from 2025.3.15 to 3.16 through this dialog
yields this:

Running updater manually also yields the same:

Hello,
RDM 2025.3.16.0 is now available and should resolve the check for update issue.
Could you give it a try?
You can download this latest release here https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/download/

Hi,
The issue has been fixed in 2025.3.16.0, here's a screenshot showing the same kind of test you did with the version where it was broken:
Sorry for the inconvenience

Thank you, I've reinstalled RDM and all is good, hope for smooth upgrade experience in the future!
Had the same file/assembly error when trying to start Devolution.Updater.exe. Ended up with downloading RDM manually and install it.
