Watchtower Library on DVD

[minister159]

Yes I was.

[felito]

I try manually, but did not work.   Version 2109

 

 

[The Outcast]

It looks like the update isn't working no matter how to install it. After the error I reinstalled the library in German and English. But the update cannot be installed. Has anyone succeeded?

Mine updated without any issues

Windows 11 is running on the 2 computers that I updated. Maybe that's the reason.

[Qapla]

I am running Windows 10 so I do not know how Windows 11 reacts ... I guess that could be part of the problem.

 

In the past, when I did have a problem, I re-downloaded the update file and it worked ... the file must have been corrupted

I have Windows 11 Home version 21H2 and the WTL update installed quickly without any issues.

Since I posted the screenshot showing the 2202 update I can say the app updated flawlessly.  Reasonably quick (5-6 minutes).  i am running Windows 10 latest version.

I updated my win 11 laptop just now - perfect. I put the update file on the Win11 desktop - now perfect. But the 2nd desktop shows the error. It was updated from Win10 to Win11 a few months earlier. I will check Windows file integrity.

My older surface pro 5 updated with no problem.

There is a reason it is called the bleeding edge and I edited in  my Win 10 Pro the update policies to Win10 21H2 which is the latest version for Win 10. It will not do a forced Microsoft Update to Win 11. I update when I want it not when MS thinks I should. When updating it show the little message "Some settings are managed by your organization" Yep, that is me and since it is my time, I want to manage it. After all Win 10 will be supported until 2025 have yet to find compelling reason to update to Win 11. The new system may be here by 2025 why update to Win 11 when it could be Win Millennium

I'm running Win v 22H2. I have not updated WTL as yet. I will do that tomorrow... I hope all goes smoothly...

No, I still haven't been able to get it to update and keep getting the "failed to validate update package" message. I tried uninstalling the WTL app. and reinstalled it using the 2017 DVD, but I still get the same message and my version is now older than it was with the previous app. that had the next to latest update on it: 2201.

Have you tried these steps?

Yes, but still no go. That's okay, thanks. I'm done trying.

Umm... There's already been a Windows Millenium back in 2K. For the new system we'll need to think of another name... or will we?

 

EDIT: Just for the record, my WTLib update installed perfectly. I'm running Windows 10 21H2.

I just updated my HP laptop and it went well.  Quick download and very fast install (even quicker than my PC).  No problems.  My PC desktop is hard-wired to the router but my laptop was just on wifi.

File would not update. I followed the instructions in the 'FAQ' of the 'Help' section referenced above. I had to navigate the C:\ProgramData to delete 2 files. It worked after that. 2022 build.Yay

Great. There was an automatic update and everything works. Thanks very much.

[minister159]

I tried the same thing and it worked! Thank you very much!

I just had to wipe out my hard drive and reload windows from scratch.  When I got to WTL this afternoon, the ISO file downloaded quickly, the file mounted easily and it installed (2 GB) steadily.  then it updated twice and now I have 2202 again.  No glitches or problems., thankfully.

The next episode... 2 GB worth!
