Hi.

Could you please check the file size of your file: "ee2_update_100-140_158.exe"?

It should be: 585 MB (614 051 776 bytes). What's yours? Are you sure the installer filename is "ee2_update_100-140_158.exe"?

Looks fine.

I assume you already tried to re-download it?

I found this topic on the Internet: https://forums.indigorose.com/forum/old ... ninstaller

Do you by any chance use some AVG Tune-up software, or other program for "boosting PC performance"? They usually mess up arguments. Please check and pause/uninstall any programs like this.

Added after 1 minute 34 seconds:
Please also go to folder:

C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Temp\

And upload file: UP15-Setup-log.txt.

It should be easier to see the issue then.

It seems to have the "Tune Up" thing, so please try to disable it and then restart your computer:

Glad that it works now :)

You can still use that Antivirus, but configure it to have the "PC Tune Up" disabled. I think programs like this cause more harm than help for the PC performance. They mess too much with programs, and usually even reduce performance.
