SUU problem, again.

Hello, its me again, who missed me? :D.

So, i have fun with using SUU, more or less positive, but now its doesnt work, i have this tool on many live-usb disks, and i dont want to reinstall that for all of them. Tool stopped work, i mean when i using it the updates wont install, have an error:

,,An error occurred durgin the update. Please refer to the support log and update log files located in C:\dell\suu for more information.

Message Details: Another instance of SUU is already running <---(what is imposible because like i said, i just start fresh system from live, and open program only once when start system..)
Only one instance of SUU is allowed at a time, unless its invoked with the -progrees (-p) option or -help (-h)"

Can i fix it or i just doing something wrong? If you need log from that location i need to know wich log, there is a bit of txt.

Greetings,
MountaiNN :).

Hi, are you using “Dell EMC OpenManage Server Update Utility" ? Then check out this first? (image attached)

Hello,

which OS are you using? And which poweredge model?

Maybe in the process there still a SUU instance running, did you check it?

Thanks
Marco

Hi @DELL-Marco B 

So, i'm using Windows 8.1 Live, and kind of servers like R630/R720/R620 etc.. lots of them. That program works ealier, but now it stopped work. I dont know what i did wrong or something, i didnt do antyhing, just using it, till it stoped working. I was working with this program for something like 3weeks or 1month max. And that just broke. I updated lots of server with the same live disks (i have 5). Answering for your question yes, i did it at first time i saw that error and no, there's not any instances of java/suu/dell in process manager.

So, what's now?
