Environment
- OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
- Antigravity Version: 2.3.1
- Installation Type: User installation
- Installation Path:
C:\Users\rahma\AppData\Local\Programs\antigravity
Issue
Whenever Antigravity downloads an update and I click “Restart to Update”, the update fails with the following error:
Unable to execute file:
C:\Users\rahma\AppData\Local\Programs\Antigravity IDE\Antigravity IDE.exe
CreateProcess failed; code 2.
The system cannot find the file specified.
The application then launches normally, but it immediately asks to install the same update again, resulting in an endless update loop.
What I have already verified
-
The old “Antigravity IDE (User)” application has been completely uninstalled.
-
Windows Registry only contains the current installation:
Antigravity 2.3.1 -
The installed executable is:
C:\Users\rahma\AppData\Local\Programs\antigravity\Antigravity.exe -
The updater downloads the correct installer:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\antigravity-updater\installer.exe
and
%LOCALAPPDATA%\antigravity-updater\pending\Antigravity-x64.exe
-
update-info.json is correct:
{
“fileName”:“Antigravity-x64.exe”,
“isAdminRightsRequired”:false
}
-
app-update.yml is also correct and contains no reference to “Antigravity IDE.exe”.
-
Running
%LOCALAPPDATA%\antigravity-updater\pending\Antigravity-x64.exe
manually completes successfully without any errors.
-
However, after reopening Antigravity, it still reports that an update is available and asks me to “Restart to Update” again.
Expected Behaviour
After installing the update, Antigravity should restart normally and recognize that the update has completed.
Actual Behaviour
The updater always attempts to launch
C:\Users\rahma\AppData\Local\Programs\Antigravity IDE\Antigravity IDE.exe
which no longer exists.
This causes:
- CreateProcess failed (Code 2)
- Update never completes
- Endless update loop
Question
Is this a known issue in Antigravity 2.3.1?
Is there a workaround, or is this planned to be fixed in a future release?
