Particle-cli - Win7 x64 - Upgrade crashed and took the application with it

Troubleshooting
1

Another day, more fun. Really weird stuff has been happening lately, brought an older Electron device up, it was showing up as “null” in the system so I did a few things in the CLI and gave it a name and it seemed to come up. Then I couldn’t flash it OTA, it seemed to insta-fail. So I flashed it via USB and particle-cli and that worked, but now I plug in a different Electron and it is now coming up as the other device. Strange, I thought, again it wasn’t flashing OTA so I tried the CLI and it seemed to be having issues logging into the cloud so I figured I would finally update it. Not a great idea because that has now tanked the install somehow.

In other words, all kinds of fun on a day where I don’t have a lot of time as usual and just wanted to get another device up to read some simple sensors and it all seems to fall apart. See below for full log of install and subsequently tanked particle-cli install.

…and while it looks like the application is in a better state, this happens when I try and run: particle login

Upgraded to Node 8, ran particle stuff again. No bueno. Uninstalled particle-cli via: npm uninstall -g particle-cli and then downloaded the windows installer and installed from there, now getting the same error as above.

Sooo frustrating. Heading out now, no more time to work on this, will jump back into it tonight.

@jboswell, I suggest using the Particle CLI windows installer.

Try to make sure you first install uninstall all instances of the CLI before installing another one. It sometimes happens there are two separate installs, which complicates things more than need be.

I am sure you meant uninstall. :wink:
