Unable to install the update SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 version 5.1.38031.14 (current version is 5.1.37703.0)

 Good evening, dear community...

on Sundays I always get bad surprises with Trados, and this Sunday held a couple of bad issues for me, the first of which is named above, and described in details below.

I got a notification about the above mentioned new version of Trados Studio 2017 SR1, so I clicked on the green "Download and Installation" button and followed the instructions (by the way - please, forgive me if the sentences do not exactly correspond to standard notifications - I'm translating part of them from Italian into English).

Everything went well, until I got stuck on the step "Removing SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1", while a pop-up window "Windows Installer" explained following:

"The desired characteristics is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Click on OK in order to try again, or specify in the box below the path of a folder which contains the installation package "TranslationStudio5.msi".

Use origin: > C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\SDL\SDLTradosStudio2017_SR1\modules\  "

 

Following this path, I actually found a package named "TranslationStudio5.msi" in the folder \modules\, but this path is non recognised as valid.

 

On the other hand, if I click on OK, nothing happens, while, if I click on Cancel, the installation procedures is closed and I get the following notification: 

"Setup did not complete. The error is: Package 'SDL Trados Studio 2017 SR1 CU13' could not be removed." And after that, in Italian (I'll translate):

Origin of the product's installation is not available. Please verify the the origin exists and that it can be accessed. Error number: 1612."

 

Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

 

I warmly thank you in advance for any help!

[my second, and actually much worse, problem is that one of my TMs is corrupt and I don't know how to rescue it - but I'm  going to open a new thread about it).

 

Thank you again

    First of all, please ensure that you are logged on as 'ADMIN' and then ensure Studio and MultiTerm are both white listed in your AntiVirus program and now run the update once more. (You may have to remove Studio first from your computer and perform a re-install)

    Control Panel window showing a list of installed programs including multiple versions of Trados Studio and MultiTerm.

     

    If you mare still having issues, please post the full error stack here in community-

    Error dialog box with a red cross icon indicating 'The desired characteristics is on a network resource that is unavailable.'
