in the meantime I went back to a clean image and could update to Opera 39.
Maybe something was wrong with the last installation...

What is the difference between your large Opera_39.0.2256.48_Setup.exe and OperaSetup.exe which I used?

I described that 2 day ago:
"Next try - Got a fresh OperaSetup.exe from Opera and start ist. Same answer, 37.0 reported."

There are 2 folders:
37.0.2178.43
39.0.2256.48

Hi,

Of course I had old versions of Opera, since v 3,5 or so... never had problems with updates.
And operaprefs.ini is from this august ...? If it just remained from an old version, why is it new?

I open Menue / about and find as actual version 37.0; to update for 39.0 I press the Start Button on that tab. The tab refreshs and shows v 37 again.

Next try - Got a fresh OperaSetup.exe from Opera and start ist. Same answer, 37.0 reported.

And never used Opera Mail.

As I wrote - I changed to the new engine (version Opera 27) in Feb. 2015.

There is no old version on my Computer.

And operaprefs.ini is about 2 weeks old.

And why does the actual version says V.37 while Opera\installation_status.xml reports V.39 ??
Strange kind of a game?

Hi,

if operaprefs.ini is only used by older versions, why is it's file date from august 2016? I left this old version in Feb. 2015 ...

New problem: I tried an Update from 37 to 39.
When I start the program, it shows 37 as actual version.
The file C:\Program Files (x86)\Opera\installation_status.xml records version="39.0.2256.48" ?

It's nearly impossible to compare from Opera GUI.
In the meantime I found the file operaprefs.ini.
But it is too large to compare alle the entries, even with WINDIFF - I don't know what to search there.

Any ideas?

Hi

I want to compare two Opera settings from different computers. Both are 37.0.
One works properly, with the other I have problems while login to a site that works on the other one.

Where do I find the settings? Are they text-files?
Can I transfer one setting to the 2. computer?

OK, thank you.

Actually I was asked to renew my Opera password. Is it really from Opera or is it some kind of scam?
