I'm getting the same issue as Carl. Download update via VEP, it downloads, asks me if I want to close program and install, and I select 'Install'. VEP closes but nothing happens. I've run it as admin and turned off Firewall settings. I'm running Win10 Pro with all updates installed.
The reason I want to install the update 'automatically' is because I'm hoping it resolves another issue I have where I get an MSVCR120.dll failure and crash on the slave computer when connecting to it.
Paul, do your Windows 10 machines have the latest updates when you try to recreate the self-install issue?
