Windows 10 Enterprise version 1809 17763.1697 x64 operating system I get the following two errors when trying to install ignition on my computer. ![Snag_50a4c6](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/1/b18d2f10ee872f1a459d7c128cf3c78ecfbc71d5.png) ![Snag_512b1d](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/1/81fa8c70c60e74e843f43930ccbb5e0367fe4606.png) I am a “Flex” user with rights to install software. I worked with our IT department and they get the same error and they have complete admin rights. ---

I am having a similar error when trying to update from 8.1.3 to 8.1.11. Did you find a solution to this error ambaker92? ---

The only solution that I found was installing the software onto a VM. If you are using yours as a production machine I do not see this as a viable solution for you. ---

ambaker92, So I had version 8.1.3 installed on a windows 7 VM. I tried to upgrade to 8.1.11 for the new perspective features but that’s when I ran into the error “unable to extract Ignition runtime files”. I may have to create a new VM and go from there. ---

Update as of 11/1/2021 I was able to finally install version 8.1.11 on Window’s 7 VM by installing to a different folder on the C drive. When running the installer I choose to install to folder “Inductive Automation1” instead of the default “Inductive Automation” folder that I had previously used for 8.1.3 I think the error originated from the fact that I tried to upgrade WITHOUT stopping the Gateway. NOTE to self- Stop the gateway before trying to upgrade. ---

I restarted the VM , opened the install file as admin , and the setup was fine . could be just I needed to restart the vm
