Re: Trouble updating the latest Driver Station 2013

I know this sounds obvious, but Windows makes a 'compressed' folder look very much like a 'real' folder on your PC. It's easy to think that you are running 'setup.exe' from a 'real' folder when it is actually still the 'compressed' folder. I've made this mistake before.

After extracting the files from the ZIP, make sure that you navigate to the 'real' folder where the files were extracted and run the 'setup.exe' from the 'real' folder and not the 'compressed' folder.

Another possibility is that the entire folder structure was not extracted from the ZIP. There are subfolders in the ZIP that must exist in the 'real' folder after extracting all of the files.

If you are running 'setup.exe' from the real folder and have extracted all of the subfolders correctly, then I have no idea what the real problem may be. We will be running the update this afternoon and will see what happens.

Re: Trouble updating the latest Driver Station 2013

Wow! Strangely enough I tried something similar to what markmcgary said. I tried re-extracting it, but our team uses Google Drive to share stuff and, previously, I extracted it on the GDrive, but this time I just extracted it to the desktop AND I un-checked the "Check updates" box at the beginning (not sure if that did anything :-/ )

So, in a nut shell: extract the files to a physical place, not cloud storage (for some reason).

Thanks for the help everyone!
