After updating the PTRG system to version "PRTG Network Monitor 15.2.16.2230 x64" there is one probe that does not upgrade, all the others(23) did upgrade without any problems.

When I login to the server where the old probe is running and start the upgrade proces manualy there is an error:

Access violation at address 00408CD7 in module
'PRTG_Remote_Probe_Installer.tmp'. Read of address 00000000.}}}

What now?

Hello,

Please try to restart the machine running the Remote Probe and start the installer manually. The installer can be downloaded from the

Web GUI > Downloads / Add-Ons > Remote Probe Installer

Please let us know if the Probe works afterwards.

Best regards

We just had this issue and I figured it out.
Our installation of PRTG goes back to version 7. We did a massive jump from 8 to 12 at one point.

During this step the only issue we had is that some of our remote probes had orphaned PRTG 8 Probe Services. Apparently this newest update did not like that. After trying everything I found out that running this command in the command prompt resolved the issue.

sc delete "name of orphaned service"

Hi,

Yes, that was the fix, after running

sc delete "PRTG7ProbeService"

The setup could update the probe without any problems.

Regards

Just to clarify you need to use the 'Service name' in the command

sc delete "PRTGProbeService"

and not the display name which might be something like "PRTG 8 Probe Service"
