Has anyone ever had this issue?
I'm trying to update the robot on a hub and no matter what method I try it fails to restart afterwards. The NimsoftRobot service is completely broken afterwards.
I checked the robot directory after the attempted upgrade and I see some files still have the rename or .old or .new. I tried renaming all the .new and replaced the existing exe's and dll's > didn't work.
I copied the files (*.exe and *.dll) from a working 7.97HF3 robots's to this machine and after wards the nimbus.log just have these entries:

Aug 1 13:06:59:787 Nimbus: Too many retries used starting 'controller', next start in 1200 seconds
The only way to fix is the re-copy the previous robot backup folder into current robot and start services. Sometimes that doesn't work and I have to re-run the base NimBUS Infrastructure.exe installer. I also tried the magic key entry in the controller.cfg but that' didn't help either.
Looking for any other ideas here.
Thanks...
