(1) EDIT: JUST UPGRADED (FINALLY AFTER MULTIPLE DAYS OF PAIN)

I will post instructions here soon enough and hopefully, it works for others. I am just testing my theory right now.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) UPDATED EDIT (04/06/2023): Ignore the above. Session DB keeps fucking up and I have to keep deleting.

All I did to break it was let session.db regenerate for an hour. I edited some session names for unattended access (keeps reverting back to the name when initially installed). Edited web config to enable auto-updates to new client version.

Error: https://imgur.com/S5t3WOA

I also get errors regarding date / time or something on admin pages.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) FURTHER UPDATE: After it working and doing absolutely nothing other than rebooting the computer, session.db errors. https://imgur.com/a/qz1NLEj

Yes, it seems simply reboots will fuck session.db. Should be easy for you to test @Arlecho. If you can't replicate it, contact me and I can demonstrate it on a stream or discord screen share.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(4) CONTINUING TO BASH MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL UPDATE:

So with the latest ver of patcher and the latest SC ver. If you reboot or edit webconfig etc. SessionDB is screwed. To "fix" you have to open patcher, select number 2 to stop all services, delete SessionDB and then open services.msc to manually start all the ScreenConnect services. The last option of the patcher does not generate SessionDB.

This needs fixing as it's losing all my edited Session Unattended information every time SessionDB needs to be regenerated.

For those with issues:

1: is the windows log giving any errors
2: is the webserver giving any errors
3: does the same happen if you disable all plugins and upgrade then?

1 & 2: No errors that I could find. Where specifically should I look?
3: Yes, I disabled all extensions before upgrade. I also re-imaged the server and uninstalled all extensions before performing the upgrade but still encountered the same issue.

UPDATE: Tried another upgrade. If I click on the Security, Triggers or License links in the admin, I get this error:
"Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program."

UPDATE: Tried another update with ScreenConnect_23.5.1.8552_Debug.msi. Same issue but error is different.
"System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[ScreenConnect.SessionManagerFault]: Common Language Runtime detected an invalid program. (Fault Detail is equal to ScreenConnect.SessionManagerFault)."

UPDATE: I got tired of trying upgrades so I tried a fresh install. It was successful but now when I highlight a pre-existing Access client and select Reinstall, it installs a second client, with a different number (i.e., ScreenConnect Client (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)), on the remote machine. I copied the AsymmetricKey from the old web.config to the new one. If you perform a fresh SC server installation, what else are you supposed to do so that you can update existing clients without installing new ones? I guess it's time to reimage and go back to 23.2.9.8466

Made a test build, please run the screenconnect installer and repair the installation before (or perform a clean install): https://anonfiles.com/i75bu6v2zb/test_7z

Could not replicate it by restarting my server unfortunately, let's see if this helps first.

Is this just for testing purposes? As a clean install is not an option for me.

I can't download the file. I suggest finding another website, https://anonfiles.com/ often gives Network error or they attach viruses to the download.

Should be fine for everyone to use, it just doesn't patch one method which is why we need the original libraries to patch them again.

Just perform a repair "install", this should restore all files.

Do you have any other good free upload sites?

Since ConnectWise has now put all of the ScreenConnect forums, knowledge base etc behind its ConnectWise log-on, I thought I would upload the SSL tool since the download is no longer available.

ScreenConnectConfigurator.exe

I have instructions if anyone needs them.

Any update?

Thanks. I will try in 8 hours after I finish work.

I will first attempt to fix my current installation (latest ver.) and if that works, I will make a backup and revert back to 8466 ver. with my old sessiondb and attempt an upgrade to the latest ver.

Will report back here with my findings.

@Arlecho - Made no difference. I did a repair and re-patch. SessionDB problems still.

Still spinning circles.

Error
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.

^ Still the same errors on some Admin pages.


Could this have something to do with Database Maintenance?
Changing anything to do with database maintenance instantly breaks it also.
