Version mismatch?

[Denon DL304]

EDIT: problem misinterpreted

Hi,

I installed Minimwatch 2.1 on Windows 10 but in fact it turns out to be 2.0.19 (in About...). A dialogue box warns about this and says that I should install 2.1 for continued support. I thought I just did. Uninstalling first and trying again doesn't help.

I also have the problem of Windows considering Minimwatch as "dangerous" but this is easily circumvented. Apparently, Microsoft uses the same routine for Edge hence the no download issue. Firefox: no problem. It's the safest mainstream browser anyway (as long as you tell it to NOT phone home)...

But I'm more concerned about the possible "version mismatch".

Cheers,

I think MinimServer on your QNAP is "old" and Minimwatch on your PC is "new"

Interesting! But how Minimwatch can morph from one version into another, I don't see with your explanation. I downloaded & installed 2.1 and it comes out as 2.0.19?

Anyway, I think I did update Minimserver on the NAS. But I'll double-check.

The messages in your screenshots say that MinimServer is at 2.0.19 and should be updated to 2.1. They say nothing about the version of MinimWatch.

It has been a while since I *thought* I upgraded Minimserver on the QNAP NAS. I remember having had problems, because it isn't part of QNAP's app control system. I checked again yesterday night and it indeed was stuck on 2.0.19. So I had to remove it altogether and install the new version manually which it eventually did.
Furthermore, I sometimes confuse minimwatch with minimserver, as evidenced by the screen prints. I apologise for that and I'll take the screens down.
Thanks for the info to point me to the real problem.

You are by no means the only person to have thought a message from MinimServer was coming from MinimWatch (or vice versa).

For future reference, when updating MinimServer on the QNAP to a new version it is not necessary to uninstall the previous version. For a step-by-step guide, see this section.
