Hi All,
I find the issue of Qspice update break things from time to time.So, I have this batch file which can help you to archive your currently installed Qspice version with automatic timestamp then update the Qspice.
In case the update break things, you simply unzip the backup file into the installation folder.
- Simply double click Backup_batch.bat it will automatically give you the backup in the Qspice installation folder as following:
C:\Program Files\QSPICE\QSPICE_BACKUP_20260228_024436.zip
You can adjust the destination directory as you see fit though by modifying these line
REM === OUTPUT ZIP FILE ===
set "ZIPFILE=C:\Program Files\QSPICE\QSPICE_BACKUP_%TS%.zip"
REM === ALTERNATE TARGET DIRECTORY FOR ZIP FILE TO AVOID PERMISSION ===
REM set "ZIPFILE=%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\QSPICE_BACKUP_%TS%.zip"
Then update Qspice!
- If you are too lazy to backup then update, you can just double click “Qspice_Backup_Update.bat”. It will then do both backup then update.
→ Warning, running this batch file will close all of your Explorer windows… I guess its due to the behavior of Update.exe itself.
Note 1: the batch file are forcing to run with admin privelege and directly write the backup file on the program directory (which is often protected). I can only assure you that the code has been tested on my own laptop safely with good result. The batch file is provided AS IS.
Note 2: I actually just modify it from my own project archiver.
Note 3: You can even modify this batch file to backup your project (just ask chatGPT to modify the source and destination directory).
