I installed 13.7, and when I try to run, I get the attached message mentioning installation files are corrupted and invalid checksum. I reinstalled 13.6 and everything runs as expected. Any suggestions?

I resolved the issue by running the installation executable as administrator.

Wonder if something changed in the installer process between 13.6 & 13.7 ?

Or maybe some sort of permissions issue where the old 13.6 install.dat couldn't be replaced by the newer 13.7 install.dat ?

This doesn't make much sense. There is no way to run the installation other than "as administrator" a.k.a. elevated.

Maybe UAC is turned off & that is somehow affecting things?

What OS (& version at that) are we talking about?
