problem with installing AM updates

Hi there, I've been an on-again off-again AM user since version 4. When I download the v12 updates or the v13 alphas I get this message when I try to install:- " An I/O error occurred while installing a file. This is normally caused by corrupt installation media or a corrupt installation file" It happens with any .exe file I try to download. Anyone got any idea what this is, as the problem must be at this end.

Hi,

 

I got that error once when I wiped the program and reinstalled it only from the update. I found I had to reinstall from the CD, then get the update and install that. I'm not sure that from v.4 might not be too much of a jump. I suspect you'll need the latest CD, that will install whatever version was burned to it at the time, then you install the latest posted update.

 

hope that helps,

u won't be able to install a version higher then 9.0 of A:M on your system, if you don't have a newer CD... Is it the dog (sven?)-CD or the Pedey and Jayde one?

No matter what, v13 alpha will only work with the Sorezeres-CD or the Yeti-CD. The same for v12.0

Sorry, I'm not being clear. I have the Sorecerez CD but the last one before that was 8.5.

I'm starting to think the problem is a Windows setting. I downloaded the latest release of Jahshaka, the open source compositing app. When I try to install that the Install Shield comes up with the message "unable to install Install Shield Scripting Libraries". I feel like maybe I have a setting somewhere in Windows that is preventing me from making these changes. Maybe that is the same problem I am having with AM.
