Spotify flashes dialog box then crashes following update

Hi.

 

The following is occuring for me:

 

  1. Spotify tells me if I restart, it will update.
  2. I choose to restart and update
  3. The next time I try to open Spotify, a dialog box (looks to be a command prompt) flashes up, and immediately closes (before I get a chance to read it).

At this point I've noticed that if I remove the 'Update' folder from within my \AppData\Local\Spotify folder, Spotify opens ok. That is until the update re-appears and I choose to restart. The above then happens again.

 

 

Looking at the json file in the update folder it's going from 1.0.64.399 to 1.0.66.478.

 

I've not been able to find any errors in the event log, but if there is anything specific you'd like me to search for I'd be happy to.

 

If I manually run the installer, it updates fine, and opens without issue.

 

Just posting to make you aware, and to assist others that might have the same issue.

 

Cheers.
