Issue with updates from 1.19.4 to 1.19.5....Update fails with error due to Visual Code file

Google Antigravity

When trying to update Antigravity (my version is 1.19.4) and I keep getting ‘Restart to Update’…even after downloading latest exe…everytime it fails as it appears there is some Visual Studio process that is locking and the ‘update’ fails and terminates….
I tried couple of times and even by restarting/rebooting the same issue happens. I also noticed through the day (in India right now) that the 1.19.4 was flashing ‘ghost’ terminal windows.
I hope the development / product team looks at this and releases a proper fix the ‘Installer’ to update is stuck in a loop or something with VS Code..

@Satish_Avas As work around I have solved installing the old version that i had in my laptop.

Hi @Satish_Avas,

Welcome to the Forum,

Thanks for flagging this. Since the manual installer also failed with a locking error, it confirms that a background process is stuck running silently even though you closed the window.

Please try this to clear the lock:

  1. Restart your computer
  2. Dont open Antigravity after the restart
  3. Run the 1.19.5 installer immediately

Let us know if that works!

Close VSCode and try again.
If VSCode is not working, check Task Manager for a stray VSCode process, usually a calendar or network stray process. Kill that and your install should run to completion.

I am seeing the same problem.

I tried updating from 1.18 to 1.19 multiple times. Same restart to update loop every time.

I fully uninstalled and reinstalled several times. It still failed. The updater looks stuck, likely due to a locked VS Code or related process.

So far, no workaround worked on my side either. This needs a proper installer fix from the Google Antigravity team.

After the last update, it got so bad I can’t even describe it. I uninstalled the entire program and reinstalled the latest version, then logged in again, but the result is the same:

I have Antigravity version 1.19.5 installed on a Windows 10 device, and it never edits files. It used to show things like +80 -50 in the edit template, but now it’s always +0 -0. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but it didn’t fix anything. What could be the reason for this?

With Antigravity closed manually install VS Code (new version from website), then reopen Antigravity. I’ve solved.

I have found the solution,

when you get error of that Visual Studio process, open your task manager and search for “language_server_windows“ and kill this process and go back to that error pop up and click retry. You are good to go!.

Give me thumbs if it works for you

Thank you @Kitttri! This worked perfectly…I updated VS Code to latest version and then was able to download the latest 1.19.6 Antigravity install it successfully….This solution is clean and does not require any “manual task killing’ :slight_smile:
