Hi, i had no trouble installing the msi file for FME Desktop 2020 but i can´t install the .exe for the 2021 version, Windows 10 always returns an error saying it can´t find the file. Tried unblocking the file, tried saving with a smaller name, nothing worked. Any ideas?

Hi @tiagomiranda​ ,

Are you trying to install FME 2021 into the same folder as your previous version of FME 2020?

 

There are a couple of options here to try:

  1. Can you try manually uninstalling your current version of FME manually from the Control Panel. Hopefully manually starting the uninstall from the Control Panel works, then you should be able to proceed to install FME 2021.
  2. Another option is to have multiple versions of FME installed on your machine. Each version simply needs to be installed into its own directory.

 

If you are still encountering an issue trying to install FME 2021. Please send me the installer log file from where the exe extracted the install files - the default location is typically C:\\FME\\FMEDesktop-<version>-Installation-Files
