Faulty Update 1-1-1-15

When I tried to "update and Install" from Vortex site, got this message. Same message from new automatic install and Manual-destination install.

 

"This file does not have an app associated with it for performing this action. Please install an app, or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page."

 

Vortex worked fine yesterday. However, in the past 2 days, I also had trouble using Vortex to install v. 7.6 of FNIS. Finally just reinstalled v.7.51 again, works fine. FNIS issue was "denied access to files D:/.../...etc. with the looping Abort-Retry-Give Permission popup. I suspect my Windows 10 secret updates are to blame for these issues. I have not changed any settings in Windows.

Make sure if you are using Windows Defender that you have "Controlled Folder Access" turned off, and make sure UAC is turned on in windows, and trying reinstalling vortex right over your current install, it's possible the install got glitched by an AV software

Can't hurt to try downloading the Vortex installer package manually.

If it comes down as something other than a .exe - your AV got you. You can rename it to the .exe type.

Thank you, HadToRegister and rmm200. I have (re)installed 1.1.14 and it seems to load and work.

 

1. I tried the update over the old one at first, then separate DL auto install, then manual install. Both had .exe files, but would not execute.

2. Controlled Access folder is off--unless Windows turned it back on, I'll have to check-- because I put everything except Windows on my D drive.

 

Thank you both! Kudos
