Updates
After reading this page you will be able to: check for, install, and verify AIPC UP updates, then handle basic update failures.
Check for Updates
Section titled “Check for Updates”Open Settings -> About -> Check for updates. The Include prerelease updates switch is stored in local settings and includes prerelease versions in checks. The button changes with the state: checking, available, or ready to install. A check button is not necessarily an install button.
Update Flow
Section titled “Update Flow”- Click “Check for updates” to request a version manifest.
- When a release is available, download the installer and wait for the ready-to-install state.
- Click the ready-to-install action. The app exits and starts the installer.
Official downloads use the file.huiai.co CDN first. GitHub Release is a fallback information or download source. Obtain installers from the official site or an app-provided link, and do not run files from unknown sources.
Before and After
Section titled “Before and After”- Save open project files and close programs that may lock the install directory.
- Tokens, configuration, and the session database live in local application data; a normal overwrite install does not target project files.
- Project files live in your filesystem directory and are separate from the session database. An overwrite install should not delete them, but back up important work first.
- After updating, check the version in Settings -> About and confirm sessions and configuration are available.
When an Update Fails
Section titled “When an Update Fails”- Retry the check and download from the About page.
- Check the network, proxy, firewall, and available disk space.
- Read the app log and record the time and error text.
- Download the installer from the official site and run it manually after closing the app.
- Use Troubleshooting and Contact and Support if the issue remains.
