Version 1.5 Installation Hangs

 Hello, my 1.5 installation hangs on the VC_redist64.exe file.  Is there a work around?

 Hello, again, I fixed this problem by uninstalling all of my C++ 2015-2022 installations, rebooting, and reinstalling.

Interesting. Did you get an S1023 (or similar) error message?

 Nope, no strange message like that.  The installation would simply freeze while installing the VC_redist64.exe.

Knowing how the vc_redist installations in general work (they install alongside earlier versions and don't install if the most current version is the same as the installation routine is delivering), I think we probably have another Norton wobbly. It took Stefan and myself almost 3.5 hours to figure out what Norton was doing and how to get around it. It meant multiple rewrites of the installer as well as endless tests to see what it was going to kill this off 'this time'. Failed installations meant manually cleaning the registry, deleting temporary files, etc., etc.. You get the picture. When I got the refusal to install the font from the B314-A package after it had finally allowed the B-314 package to install it, I was pretty sure we hadn't seen the last of its stupidity.

I have never had so much trouble with an internet security package from any other software house.
