Updates - Not Working

I am using KS to perform Web Application testing for a few years now. If I don’t get this resolved soon I may stop using KS all together.

Operating System

Steps to reproduce:

Using Win 7/sp1 and Katalon Studio, I click Check for Updates. My current version is 7.7.2, it finds the new version 8.2.5

When I click Download, it appears to work. It progresses to say “Install and Relaunch”. When I click Install and Relaunch, it does not actually work. Katalon closes but never reopens. And when manually opened it is not the new version.

Expected Behavior:

KS should update and relaunch

Actual Behavior:

KS version stays same and does not relaunch

Try to do a new install (download the latest stable version and unpack it in a fresh new folder).
You are trying to upgrade from an ancient version, lot of stuff may go wrong.
