Can't install Update17a

Wolfheart

Hello,
I received the May newsletter. Great mail, lots of interesting articles, a 60% discount (I immediately used it to fill a small gap, I was missing Annual #2), and best of all, CC3+ versions for stuff.
However, after I downloaded SM Castles! for CC3+ it asked me to update CC3+, so I downloaded Update17a.
When I run it (as admin or not), it just keeps hanging as if in a loop, never finalizing the installation.
Any hot tips?

Wolfheart

Mmm looks like it's happening when I try to install the 2008 Annual (#2) as well. I assumed it wouldnt require the latest CC3+

Wolfheart

Oh, and by the way, I let the installer run for several hours just in case it would suddenly finish but it didn't.

Wolfheart

Back again.
It may have had something do with my graphics drivers, I'm not sure. Anyway, I rebooted the computer, got a few messages about my graphics, then tried again, update installed.
So if anyone else faces this problem, try a reboot ^^

Hello Wolfheart

I'm sorry to hear you are having such a troublesome time. I see you sorted this one out all by yourself, so everything is fine.

For future reference it is also advisable to temporarily switch off your AV while you install as administrator.

That's generally good advice for any computer problems, especially with Windows.
