Update installation of newer version 2020.08 never completes

[Peter Halpin]

Several times Bandlab Assistant has told me that a new release is available.  The new release is version 2020.08. Each time that I have attempted to install the newer release via Bandlab I end up with the message "Installing" in Bandlab, and the message never goes away, and when I exit Bandlab Assistant Cakewalk is not updated to version 2020.08. I have tried while Cakewalk was running, and when it was not. And I have left the "Installing" message on overnight in case it takes a long time. But it never works. Help!

I've never had this issue

Using the latest Bandlab Assistant?  (Which is 6.00)

Download from here

https://www.bandlab.com/download/assistant/windows

Is the Cakewalk installer left in %appdata%\bandlab-assistant\Downloads ? 

If this has been fully downloaded, then the exact size should be 557,262,632 bytes

Have you tried temporarily disabling your antivirus software?

Is your PC fully patched?   Are your Vdist runtimes updated?
