Desktop pre-release v3.2 is now available (Updated 28/02/2025)

  • Improved: Reactivate pCloud synchronisation (23032b9)
  • Improved: Removed deprecation notice on OneDrive sync method (ceea0bc)

I see that the OneDrive deprecation has been reversed as implementing it may have been too hasty. However, pCloud? Have they resolved these issues that caused them to be considered incompatible with Joplin? Just wondering what caused the reversal...

I cannot install 3.2.4 - I get "Joplin cannot be closed. Please close it manually and click Retry to continue." But I did close it manually before installing 3.2.4. I looked through the Task Manager (I'm on Windows 10) and do not see any Joplin processes. I also tried rebooting and running the 3.2.4 install first thing before starting anything else, same result. Any suggestions?

Yes - same here....

Same problem with 3.2.4.

Was it working with 3.2.1 or 3.2.3?

That was following a conversation I had at the Open Source Experience - since pcloud is one of the most popular WebDAV provider it would be good to make it work.

It's been two years since we disabled support so maybe these issues have been fixed since then. If not we'll see what we can do and maybe contact pcloud about it

Yes, I’ve never had a problem installing the new versions until this one. (I install each new one when the notification comes.) I closed Joplin, checked Task Manager to see if anything was running, rebooted, and got the same message every time. I don’t want to uninstall the existing version that works fine.

Yes, same -- I have installed every version along the way and no problems until now. I have 3.2.3 at the moment.

I have the same issue with Joplin-Setup-3.2.4.exe, never had this issue before. There is no Joplin actively running on the system.

First Reminder to @laurent @JackGruber dpoulton ymzk64 cleterrier You Are Awesome. And Again We appreciate You for developing native Joplin muliple window feature.

We are getting same update error here, We are unable to update from previous version to this 3.2.4 version but we are able to make a fresh install. When trying to update to 3.2.4, the top dialog error appears then when you hit retry, same top dialog repeats. When you hit cancel, you get the bottom dialog error

I just got the same error trying to update to 3.2.5.
I have Joplin installed as a per-user application rather than through admin. When I start the update, it recognizes that and says it will reinstall/update it, but then the "cannot be closed" error appears. This occurs even after a reboot and I checked that there is no instance of Joplin running.

v3.2.5

same - I cannot install 3.2.5. @laurent is there some logging or other diagnostic I can gather that will help figure out why these latest versions are not working?

v3.2.5 is working for me. For comparison,

  • I'm on Windows 11.
  • I'm testing by:
    1. Closing Joplin (3.1.25) from the system tray (right-click > quit).
    2. Installing Joplin 3.1.24 using Joplin-Setup-3.1.24.exe (stored in Downloads).
    3. Selecting "Only for me".
    4. Clicking "Finish" and leaving "Run Joplin" checked.
    5. Running Joplin-Setup-3.1.25.exe (also stored in Downloads).
    6. Clicking "Install" (with "Only for me" still selected).
    7. When the "Joplin is running / Click OK to close it" dialog is shown, I click "OK".
    8. Joplin closes.
    9. Leaving "Run Joplin" checked, I then click "Finish".

No chance - always the same error with Joplin-Setup-3.2.4.exe and Joplin-Setup-3.2.5.exe here....

Would you mind trying to run the installer with the /LOG flag to see if it generates some additional log information?

It would be something like Joplin-Setup-3.1.24.exe /LOG="C:\path\to\log.txt"

Also a few other things to try:

  • Does the same problem happen after you restart your computer?

  • Did you try manually uninstalling the app first?

  • What if you manually delete the Joplin files in Program Files first?

  • Something else to try is to manually delete the relevant keys in the Registry, but I don't know exactly where they are (somewhere in HKEY_CURRENT_USER)

Tried it - but no log file at all is written after I finish/close the setup (after that error was shown) :thinking:

I did the following now:

  1. Run the Uninstaller (C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Joplin\Uninstall Joplin.exe)
  2. Now again the setup file Joplin-Setup-3.2.5.exe and the installation worked :+1:

I have been experiencing the same problem. I have 3.2.3 installed and cannot successfully run the 3.2.4 or 3.2.5 installer even though Joplin isn't running AFAIK.
