How to upgrade a supervisor on Windows

You need to uninstall the older Qube! components, and then install the newer ones. No data is lost during the uninstall/re-install.

Stop the supervisor and the Database server

If you want to avoid a reboot during the uninstall/reinstall cycle, you need to stop the following Windows services, in this order:

  • qubesupervisor (stop this first)
  • postgresql-pfx

You can either stop these services with the Services utility, or at the command-line if you've open a cmd prompt as "Run as Administrator"

sc stop qubesupervisor

sc stop pfxmysql

sc stop postgresql-pfx

Uninstalling the Qube! Supervisor

The only condition is that the Qube-core is uninstalled last. You can uninstall all other Qube! components in any order.

The most common order is

  • uninstall the Qube! supervisor
  • uninstall the QubeUI (if installed)
  • uninstall the Qube-core
