    I uninstalled CodeSys v17 to install v18. I installed v18 and the installer tool no longer runs. I then uninstalled v18 and the installer tool. Then did a clean install of v18 and the installer tool still does not work. So uninstalled them and went back to v17 and the installer no longer works with v17.

    I then setup a fresh Win10 VM and installed v18 and the installer works fine. I need CodeSys installer working again on my main machine with all my other software I use for development.

    What else can I try to get the installer running? When I open it from start menu, I get the notification whether to allow this device to make changes and I click yes and then nothing happens or opens.

    I have also downloaded the installer from here https://store.codesys.com/de/codesys-installer.html and tried to install separately and I still have the same issue.

    Is there anywhere to view the Logs etc to find out why it's not starting?

    After some digging through the system logs and errors I came across these errors relating to the CodeSys Installer

    I would uninstall .Net Core Runtimes on your system
    then download:
    https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/3.1
    and install it.

      Thanks, that did the trick. Any reason why this happened in the first place? bad uninstall/removed incorrect file?

      What is the best method to upgrade in the future without running into these issues?

      When I try to update the packages I now get 

      Package Download Error: Invalid content download archive.

      Where is the download archive located?

        This is the log I found for the issue.

    I still have the download error and can't solve this. Any help on what to try?

    Am I best to report this as a bug or issue? I would like to get it going for an upcoming project. I have tried to use bulk crap uninstaller and remove all reg entries etc but still no luck.
