Hello,

As a test I was pushing this version out to a couple test machines to see how it performs in our environment. The update flat out fails with the error message that it cannot create a restore point. Is restore point creation mandatory for this? We currently have it disabled in our policy.

*Update

Ended up having to modify Policy to allow this to happen. Do notice that this current version installs with the wrong version number though (which makes things confusing) it installs as 12.13.0.9089 instead of the proper version of 12.14.0.9145 as manually selected within the portal. Removed it multiple times in case I had selected the wrong one and confirmed, when you tell it to update or install from scratch to version 12.14.0.9145 it installs 12.13.0.9089

Seeing the same issue on my end. All endpoints this has been pushed to have downgraded to 12.13.0.9089. The version being pushed clearly says ‘12.14.0.9145’.

Hi @mphillips @Evernight2021 ,

Currently we are experiencing an issue with our CDN servers. We will inform once latest XCS version (12.14) is fully synced with all CDN mirrors.

Hi all, CDN synchronization is complete now. You should be able to upgrade to XCS 12.14.
