Error when checking for a Fences 5 update (ver 5.84)
Stardock Forums
Today I checked fences for an update within the application, running Windows 11. I've read that changes may be needed when 24H2
for W11 is release. My current Winver is: 23H2 (22631.4249). Upon doing the update check, a pop 'File version mismatch' came up.
It stated as follows below (and screenshot at the bottom)
*****
---------------------------
File version mismatch
---------------------------
Mismatching file versions detected.
A reboot may be required to complete installation.
DesktopDock64.dll is 5.8.0.3 (should be 5.8.4.7)
FencesMenu64.dll is 5.8.0.3 (should be 5.8.4.7)
---------------------------
OK

So, do I uninstall & reinstall Fenced 5 to remedy this mismatch? or just reinstall Fences 5 again ?
I do fences backups/snapshots, but it would seem that a thorough uninstall would wipe the dir Fences keeps these in? I would make a copy of all the files after running a backup, saving them elsewhere I suppose, uninstall Fences and then reinstall it.
Never having seen this error before since using Fences from 1st version to 5, I've not had to do this prior
Any help is much appreciated
