Rowsfire App Update Error —
Complete Fix Guide (v2.2.0.0)

Status: Resolved.  The update server is fully operational. v2.2.0.0 is available now.

Problem overview

Affected panels: All Rowsfire panel models — A107, A109, A111, A112, A113, A108 V2, B107 and others.
Symptom: After a few uses the panel stops responding, and the app displays an update prompt that fails to complete.

ERROR · System.Threading.ThreadStateException · ActiveX component

Root cause — The app's auto-updater attempts to open a browser-based window on a background thread, which Windows blocks for ActiveX WebBrowser controls. Updating to v2.2.0.0 eliminates the issue entirely. No hardware is affected.

Three ways to fix it

Method 1 — Quick restart TEMPORARY

Use this if you need to fly right now. Restores panel function for the current session only.

  1. Unplug the panel USB cable from your PC
  2. Wait a few seconds
  3. Reconnect — the panel re-initialises and works normally again
Method 2 — Manual download from GitHub RECOMMENDED

Confirmed by multiple community members. Permanently resolves the error in minutes.

  1. Visit rowsfire.com/pages/rowsfireapp
  2. Download RowsfireApp_Setup_2.2.0.0.zip
  3. Extract and run the installer — existing settings are preserved
  4. Launch the updated app — the error will not appear again
Community-verified as the fastest and most reliable fix. Multiple users confirmed success immediately after install.
Method 3 — In-app update SERVER RESTORED

The Rowsfire update server is now fully restored. Direct in-app update is available.

  1. Open the Rowsfire App
  2. Click the update prompt when it appears
  3. Wait for the download to complete, then restart the app
If the error dialog appears before the update downloads, use Method 2 instead — both result in the same v2.2.0.0 installation.

  • Keep the app updated — staying on the latest release avoids most compatibility issues. Check monthly at rowsfire.com/pages/rowsfireapp
  • Save the installer — after downloading v2.2.0.0, keep a copy of the zip file for quick reinstalls if needed
