    # Lead up Customer reported via user feedback that they experienced an error when updating the software. Support engaged to investigate with help from a developer. While investigating the issue we discovered an unrelated missing DLL issue. This was discovered by examination of the user’s application logs which displayed an exception while trying to check for updates. # Mitigation and Resolution 1. The the 2.10.0 release installer was replaced with 2.9.0 release installer to prevent further installations of impacted version. 2. A fix was created for the missing DLL and the fixed version was released as 2.10.1. # Preventive Actions QA team is going to add testing for upgrading to newer version as part of their process to ensure that automatic updates feature is not broken.
