The Grand 2: No chance to update to v2.1.0.1308!

[adonis]

Hello,

I downloaded the new version of The Grand 2 yesterday and executed the file.
But the important files (for example, the .dll file) are not being updated, though the installer gives a message like "new version installed successfully"
The log file shows the following messages:

As you can see, the dll, the exe, and the two pdf files are not being copied!

Could someone please give a hint!?

Thx,

So try to start the Update_TheGrand_2.1.0.1308.exe from the grand 2 dir. (I had already installed the "hot fix" from December)

So, after all tries had failed, I deleted The Grand 2 (it couldn't be uninstalled, because the Install.log could not be read ) and installed it completely new. After that, the update worked, too
