CONNECT Edition Update 1 - Installation fails

Problem

When I try to install AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition Update 1 there is no Install option…only Repair, Modify, and Finish.

When I try to install the original AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition release, it says that a newer version is already installed.

Finally, when I try to uninstall AECOsim Building Designer CONNECT Edition, it immediately goes to Finish (but does nothing).

Solution

Uninstall the failed installation from the Package Cache folder

Set the User Access Control (UAC) to "Never Notify"
1. This can be found in Control Panel - User Accounts - Change User Account Control settings
Using File Explorer, navigate to the C:\ProgramData\Package Cache folder, right-click on AECOsimBuildingDesignerx64.msi file and select "Run As Administrator” or just Double-click AECOsimBuildingDesignerx64.msi to run the uninstaller.

The uninstall should complete and you should be able to install AECOsim Building Designer Update 1 version 10.01.00.36.
