Zotero 7 portable failed to update! How to update it manually ?

Coname

Hi
I had tried multiple times to update it from 7.0.5 (64-bit) to 7.0.8 but got this message:
The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)

How to fix this? or alternatively how to manually update a portable zotero ?

Sorry, we can only help with the official version of Zotero from this site.

It is an official version of zotero !
I did download it from (https://www.zotero.org/download/) then (64-bit ZIP) link.
I download and launch it successfully, my issue is with updating it.

dstillman

Oh, if it's just the ZIP, you can always just delete the folder and replace it with the new unzipped folder.

Coname

OK. but I don't want to lose my library !
If you could provide me with a link that explain data, addons and binary locations inside zotero folder, that might resolve this issue.

dstillman

That folder has nothing to do with your data — it's literally just the same application files that you downloaded and unzipped.

Data is stored in the Zotero data directory.

Thank you
