can't get software to install

[linkshouse]

Good Morning,

I had version 1.3 of T2Laser installed and working okay but haven't used it in vengeance and decided it was about time I did!

I figured I should also update to the latest version at the same time. The online installer kept throwing an error and I thought this might be because the earlier version needed to be uninstalled.

I have uninstalled the software now but still can't get the online installer to work, it keeps going through the verifying author process and then ends saying - Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor.

Please, can you help.

Many thanks.

Phill

Ayup Don, I trust you’re well.

As you have noticed I’ve been somewhat absent from the various woodworking forums.

We bought a motorhome and that has been taking up all my spare time over the last year or so.

It sounds like something got corrupted, without knowing if it's T2Laser or dot net your best solution is to remove the install folder and reinstall from my server as that will automatically check the dot net configuration and load any files required.

To remove T2Laser:Go to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0 and delete the sub folders but leave the 2.0 folder (change [username] to your user name). 
To reinstall (run setup.exe):https://t2laser.blob.core.windows.net/install/setup.exe

Thank you for your help.

I tried removing the folders as suggested and then running the installation from the web page and got the same result.

I have pasted the error details below (the strange thing is that it appears to suggest that the operating system is 32bit when I'm pretty sure it is 64bit).

Thank you in advance for your help -

That looks like an internet issue, T2Laser installs from a Microsoft secure server but the process also installs any prerequisites required (dot net 4.5) from their servers. It looks like your PC is unable to reach one of these servers.

The defaultProxy is what is specified in IE, so if you can reach the internet it should also install. Is this a Windows 10 system with Edge browser?

Zax,

Thank you so much for your time.

It's windows 7 with Internet Explorer.

Asking which browser I was using gave me an idea, so I tried doing the install using Firefox, but gave the same error message.

[Zax]

The install is an executable, you run it from explorer. You can try to right click and run as administrator in case your user is blocked for some reason, the error message says it's unable to open the default proxy to the internet (it requires a secure https connection).

[linkshouse]

Success!

Running as administrator didn't make any difference but I got a different clue when fiddling with other browsers. This isn't my day to day computer as I'm usually a Mac user.

My preferred browser on the Mac is Google Chrome but that couldn't connect to the Internet. After doing all the updates on Firefox that couldn't connect to the internet either.

As you had said that the problem related to not being able to download various components I figured this could well be related.

I did some research on these problems and found some instructions on using various command-line instructions to reset den and winsock etc.

After doing these Chorme and Firefox could access the Internet.

Then et voila! T2Laser installed fine.

Excellent, I'm glad the error messages were helpful for a change.
