Window 8.1 fails to download

[jd79]

Hey guys I been having a issue with AB not downloading on a windows 8.1 machine, 6 days I been messing around with it, finally I reset the machine and re-installed windows and all drivers again. the issue still remains. so AB and windows 8.1 are not compatible since the update a week ago anyone else having problems?

when I do a compatibility test it gets a error parsing as follows;

C:\windows\Microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config

parser returned error 0x80004005

how do I fix this, I have done a roll back, that didn't work, completely re-installed windows and all new drivers, have no anti virus no firewall, but being windows 8.1, I cannot see where .net frame work is to check if it has old versions conflicting, anyone know how to fix that error

When you download the AB installer you MUST:

Right click the file
Click on properties
Click Unblock
Click Apply

Now try running the file as Administrator.

Hi Mordark,

thank you for your reply, I ended up getting it sorted by doing a soft/clean (what ever its called) where i disabled all microsoft products on start up boot, this allowed me to install AB and havent had a problem since day 2 of issue free.. yipeee

when i installed a up to date Ab version downloaded from another pc it would start AB client but the account manage page wouldn't open properly at minimized settings and could only be used/initiated from the action bar(near clock) and then the plug ins would operate incorrectly by running around randomly.

thanks for your advice i will sure give that a try if i have problems again

cheers
