from time to time I get this error:
and clicking retry solves it. Mabye handle
ERROR_SERVICE_MARKED_FOR_DELETEand retry internally @dmexNew update also installed without any errors.
Thank you @dmex for this fix! 😃
@as-muncher, nope, that error still occurs
I don’t believe the error has anything to do with AV though. It is what it says on the tin in this case, I believe installer was not meant to handle upgrading, it did not expect files already exist in the install directory, and have no logic to handle that(asking users if they want to overwrite everything, running the uninstaller first, etc)
