Updating Publisher Beta

[AlanPickup]

I know there have been a number of threads on updates failing and I am just offering this as an observation. 

On my desktop PC every update I have attempted has failed on the first try. When I restart the PC it installs without problem, but acts as if it is installing a new application (presumably the first attempt removed the existing version). I  also run this as administrator as I get failures with installations not being able to create a folder/file in the process without this permission?

When I install on my laptop it updates first time without error every time.

The screens below show the specs for each device, I only attach a tablet to my laptop as and when needed, the PC has a permanent one attached

Thanks for the info Alan

It is an issue that we are still very much trying to track down but hopefully we will be able to solve it soon. Usually if you restart your machine it will let you install the full version fine

Just to  update my previous post - one again version 206 installed first time on my laptop, but failed first time on my PC. After restart it failed again, this is the first time it has failed after a restart. I had unchecked create a desktop shortcut, tried again with it checked and it updated. Again all these have to be run as administrator as somehow my PC requires this or it cannot create a file, throws up exception error.

Again this is just for observation
