farrellk Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Wondering if anyone else is having problems running Line 6 Updater 1.07 on Windows 10 64-bit? I tried downloading tonight in an effort to update my Helix FW to the latest release. Updater will not run after installation, yet DOES reside in memory - which I have to kill using Task Manager if I want to run Helix 1.03. When downloading the installer for Updater 1.07, I get a msg stating "The signature of Line6Updaterv1.07Installer.exe is corrupt or invalid." Going forward with the installation seems to work fine (i.e., no crashes). The previous version of Line 6 Updater 1.04 runs fine. Helix 1.03 runs fine. Any thoughts?

jroseberry Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Uninstall the version that's currently installed (via Programs And Features). Reinstall the latest version... and it'll then open/work properly. In short, an "overwrite" install doesn't operate properly under Win10. A clean install does... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hideout Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 1.07?! What's new in it? Is it just a maintenance release or are there new toys to play with? Do tell. Do tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Version 1.07 applies to "Line 6 Updater version 1.07," which is necessary if you want to use the latest Helix Firmware (which is 1.06.0). I think you're looking for the list of features in that new Firmware. Those features are Pinned at the top of the Helix forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're looking for the list of features in that new Firmware. Those features are Pinned at the top of the Helix forum. Umm... Don't think so.... I loaded Helix FW 1.06.0 with the prior Line6 Updater version 1.04, and it worked fine. Helix FW 1.06.0 was released 01/26/16, and the Updater Version 1.07 was released 02/02/16 -- I believe I updated the Helix prior to 02/02. It might be necessary for future FW updates, though. I am running Win8.1 64-Bit, so don't know if that's a factor... I did update to the Helix App Version 1.03 before backing up my Set lists for the firmware update -- that one was released the same day as the new Firmware and was necessary for the process. The Helix Rack FW 1.06.2 was released the same day as the Updater version 1.07 -- the Updater update was to support the newer hardware (Helix Rack, Firehawk 1500, and the new wireless), I believe. The process went smooth for me, though, I did have the Helix App trigger my antivirus -- was not digitally signed properly by Line 6, and I installed it anyway (didn't like to, but I did). I downloaded the Updater version 1.07 a day or so ago, and IT also triggered my antivirus - saying it is not digitally signed by Line 6! C'mon guys -- get'er done right!! Digitally sign the new stuff so it doesn't give us heartburn, alright? I have not yet installed the new Installer, probably this weekend. Will probably uninstall 1.04 first -- makes sense, and won't hurt to do that. Just not looking forward to the nerve-wracking prospect of having warnings going off when I install version 1.07....

farrellk Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 My bad. I SHOULD have stated this: When using Line 6 Updater 1.04 to update my Helix FW to 1.06.0, the Updater wanted to update itself to 1.07 before it would give me the option to update my Helix FW to 1.06.0. That is why I made the assumption that the Updater needed to be updated first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I made the assumption that the Updater needed to be updated first. I never got that updater message. But if I remember correctly, the v1.07 Update app was released about a week later after firmware v1.06.0, and may have had something to do with firmware v1.06.2 for Helix Rack.
