PMS Windows v1.29.0.6244 unable to update to 1.30.0.6486

Server Version#: v1.29.0.6244 (on Windows 7)
Player Version#:

Download of 1.30.0.6486 update was completed, followed by installation, but after it starts back up, the PMS version still shows 1.29.0.6244 instead of the expected 1.30.0.6486.

Update service logs attached.

Your logs don’t show any issues. I’d say the best course of action would be to exit plex and try and update manually. Even maybe restart the server too before doing such.

We need the installer logs not the updater.

Dear all, I have a same problem, i updated from the web page or manually but, unfortunately, the release don’t change and the web page propose me to update the server… I’m waiting other info… all the suggested solutions are applied.
Grazie from Italy

Please find attached the installer logs, zipped up. I am including logs from the 2 most recent unsuccessful updates, as well as from the last known successful update to version 1.29.0.6244 on 9/28/22.

Note that for all previous successful updates, the size of the _pms.log file is around 14 MB compared to the unsuccessful update _pms.log file being only around 4.5 MB.

Are you using a different install folder? Looks like PMS got installed to the default location, but I see references to a V drive.

I have no way of specifying the install folder as the update is initiated by the update service.

It does look as though the existing files are not being overwritten by the new updated installation files.

On my V: drive (external USB HD) I do not see any folders related to Plex Media Server.

Can you restart PMS, wait 3 minutes without doing anything, go to the update page to check for an update, wait 30s, then get me the server logs.

After restarting PMS, saw icon indicating Server Update available.
