HI Paul,
I've always ran VEP as administrator & no changes were made after the update.

update-
After trying to install this latest update ( 6.0.15258) & closing to install I received an additional message ' make sure program is closed'
then I re-opened VEP & got 'elicenser not found, so I re-installed eLisencer again ( Version: 6.10.2.18198 )
I then opened VEP & got 'Could not find VEPro6. not installed..'
Hi Paul,
Yes, after re-start it loads up but I mean the eLicenser message was new this time & the problem is the same. After the update notice & download it doesn't VEP remains closed after selecting 'Close to install ' .
Again I found the exe in my temp & just installed the update manually.
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?
Hi,
Which version are both of you trying to update? Maybe I picked the wrong versions to update from?
Best,
Paul
Version of what, Windows or VEP? I'm using the latest updated versions of each. IIRC the problem started after the 2-3 update of VEP. I was using the latest version of Windows at the time (Aug)
I downloaded and installed (from MyVSL archive) 6.0.15318, then have been trying to automatically update to the latest, 6.0.15415.
Paul, can you confirm your Windows 10 machines have the latest Windows updates? It could be coincidence, but I feel like my real issue (slave VEP crashes when connecting to it) started when Windows 10 updated. I tried to uninstall Win10 updates, but the problems continue.
Also, if it helps, I believe my main workstation (Win10 Pro) ALSO couldn't auto-update. Same thing happened, clicked install, VEP closes and nothing happens. I updated it manually to latest update via MyVSL.
Another thought:
On another thread, another user with the same auto-install issue uninstalled VEP completely using CCleaner and tried to delete every remnant of VEP from the computer. He reinstalled VEP and the auto-update seemed to work (which in turn fixed his crashing issue).
I tried using CCleaner to do the same thing, but it didn't work. I'm wondering, do you have a recommened way for completely removing VEP 6 for a clean install?
