Update Guide
Under construction
Because the launcher is still in the beta
stage, data backup is particularly important... Here we will introduce how to solve problems encountered during updates and how to backup if you want to reinstall.
APPX update requires reinstallation
Because the old version launcher of the APPX
format has expired certificates, when upgrading from the old version to the new version, it will require uninstalling the old version. In this case, please backup your XMCL data folder.
Suppose foo
is your username:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\XMCL_ncdvebj03zfcm\LocalCache\Roaming\xmcl
You can copy it out and put it on the desktop. After reinstallation, the new version of XMCL should have the following file path:
%LocalAppData%\Packages\XMCL_68mcaawk44tpj\LocalCache\Roaming\xmcl
Just put your backup files back in.
APPX update failed
The APPX update should also open a folder, where there is a downloaded xmcl.appinstaller
file. You can manually double-click this file to install the update.
Other updates require reinstallation
This situation does not actually require backup, because only APPX
will clear XMCL's data files. Of course, you can back up if you want to, and the data files will be located in the following locations:
%AppData%\xmcl
~/Library/Application Support/xmcl
~/.config/xmcl
Other version updates failed
Just redownload it...
