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.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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?

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.
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! ! !
