> Is there a problem with the installation of 8.1? I’ve installed it 3 times but when I bring it up it still says I’m at 7.8. The Help > About menu shows 7.8 as well.
> It’s odd because I have gone from 7.6 to 7.7 and 7.7 to 7.8 following the same steps.
When I look at the directory on my machine that pgAdmin is installed to, I see the following:
C:\Users\ <my_user>\AppData\Local\Programs\pgAdmin 4>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 42DF-4B8A
Directory of C:\Users\<my_user>\AppData\Local\Programs\pgAdmin 4

Note that v6 and v7 are in subdirectories but v8 is not. If you have an existing shortcut that you are using, then perhaps it is pointed to the v7 directory and needs to be updated to point to the directory that v8 is installed in. That would also explain why you had no problems with minor updates of v7 but are seeing this after moving to v8.
