Cursor update error: There was an error while renaming: "tools"

Same issue with 0.46.5–>0.46.6

  • Even though the updater is giving errors and won’t complete it might still be downloading the installer in the background.
  • Check your Temp folder to ensure the download is complete before cancelling/exiting the updater. :warning:
  • Otherwise you’ll end up with a useless .tmp file and have to re-install an old version.

I have found a solution to the problem:

  1. Use cursor to upgrade the version. Do not restart after the upgrade file is downloaded;
  2. Open the system’s [Task Manager] to find the cursor upgrade process setup (starting with the setup name);
  3. Find the downloaded upgrade package through the upgrade process and copy it to a backup folder (the upgrade package storage location is the system temporary directory. This file will be automatically deleted when the cursor upgrade is completed or fails);
  4. You can close the cursor at this time, even if the automatic upgrade fails;
  5. Manually run the backup upgrade package file, install it, and finally you are done!
    Note: The computer is Windows 11 system

At the main cursor page the link points to 0.45.17 version but in downloads we have the 0.46.7 as latest. What a mess.

And this 0.46.7 still now working here. After send the prompt, the AI does the analisys, but the applying and generating do not work.

After minutes I got “The diff algorithm was stopped early (after 5000 ms.” and the file is broken.

The message “Your conversation is too long. Please try creating a new conversation or shortening your messages.” is invalid. My code is small, as the 2 lines prompt.

THIS IS HAPPENIG ALL THIS WEEK AFTER THE RELEASE 0.45!!!

How many messages are in the chat thread? If you create a new chat thread do you see the same issues?

Just one message in the chat… But I installed Cursor 46 on another notebook and it worked. Maybe installing and uninstalling updates could have created problems. I’m researching what to do.

46.6 → 46.7 same error, finding installer in users appdata/temp and installing manually - works

Same here, we should reopen this topic since it is not solved.
