IgniteRemote v1.6.25
Fixed: updating while your diagnostic software is open
The update failure finally produced its error message, and it named the real culprit: not a
stray helper process, but the diagnostic software itself. GM's software loads our J2534 file
into itself — that is the entire point of it — and Windows refuses to delete a file that a
running program has loaded. So an update attempted while GDS2, Techline Connect or TDS was
open died on that exact file. Run silently, it died invisibly.
Windows does allow such a file to be renamed. The installer now moves the old file aside
instead of deleting it: your diagnostic software keeps running on the copy it already loaded,
the new file lands in place, and the leftover is swept up by the next update. You no longer
need to close anything to update.
One honest note: diagnostic software that was open during the update keeps using the OLD
version of the file until that software is restarted. Restart it when convenient.
Nothing starts recording on update
Unchanged: recording is off on every computer and stays off until an owner completes the
attestation in the console and switches it on for that specific computer.
