ASUS N76VB

Windows 7 Ultimate x64

I download setup.exe from https://studio.thingworx.com/home/

I cannot install this application on my ASUS with the following reports:

Before it I used 8.0.2 on this ASUS.

But now cannot install 8.0.3 on it.

I did it several times during three days with the same result.

How can I really install this upgrade on my  notebook?

Thank you in advance.

Vladimir Krayushkin​ :  Could you please confirm if you are having Node.js installed externally on your machine . There is a know issue when Studio installer gets break if Node.js is installed externally.

Also, could you please try deleting the folder ThingworxStudio insdie directory  C:\Users\Admin002\AppData\Roaming and then try installing again.

Hello Durgesh!

Thanks for your message.

I check the file system: no, I didn't install node.js separate or externally.

And during last attempts to install 8.0.3.1898 I deleted all directories/files from C:\Users\Admin002\AppData\Roaming (and last case - the ThingworxStudio directory from C:\Users\Admin002\MyDocument too).

But even after that I see the same installation message:

- Studio Version 8.0.3 (8.0.3.1898)

- Status Message: Version 8.0.3 (8.0.3.1898)

Any idea?

BTW: I find log file from another laptop with successful modification of ThingWorxStudio 8.0.2 to 8.0.3. The beginning of log for first-time 8.0.3 Studio running is the following:

I underscored logs in the successful case addressing the steps (before start node.js) which cannot perform in the bad case. - What does it mean? Why I cannot install Applications and Libraries at all? May be it is a reason.?

Thank you in advance.

[vkrayushkin]

OK, Durgesh, You are right, the reason - "old" node.js scripts before installation of the new TWxStudio release:

I remove of node.js yet another time:

1. I uninstall ThingWorx Studio from my Windows 7 Ultimane x64 laptop.

2. I delete all "node.js" files from  "... AppData/Roaming/" of actual User (Admin002 in my private case)

2.a I remeber I installed 8.0.2 for other users on the same laptop configuration several weeks ago. I didn't uninstall them before. Now  I uninstall all installed TWxStudio for others and node.js" files of them.

3. Then - Restart Windows and network, start "setup.exe" (but in my case I make it by ThingworxMobileBuilderApp.application), and my ThingWorx Studio 8.0.3.1898 are running now:

Thanks for help, Durgesh! ! !

-Vladimir.
