Hello @sanjayvenkateswaran,

Please try installing the latest version on another PC within the same network to make sure it's not a provider-related issue.

If the installation is successful on a different PC, try do the following:

  • reboot the system and run the setup file as an administrator
  • update PC, install the latest version of .NET framework and try again
  • check if any additional antivirus services have been installed on the PC and try to disable them.

Thank you for your reply. I will try to install as per your suggestion.
