Issue
While running the ION Setup installer to upgrade to a newer version of ION Setup, the installer completes in faster than usually time but does not install ION Setup.
Product
ION Setup 3.0
Environment
Upgrading ION Setup from a pervious version on a system with UAC
Windows 10
Cause
During the upgrade process, the installer will remove the existing version of ION Setup however in certain circumstances the installer cannot remove entries from the registry. When the installer begins to install the newer version, the installer checks to see what components are already installed. Because the registry components are not removed, the installer will skip installing required files. This is common with Windows 10 as users in the Administrators group many not remove entries from the Registry unless explicitly running the ION Setup installer as Administrator
Resolution
*Warning: Take backups of any files prior to modifying them. Ensure the backups are in a location that will not be overwritten (i.e. the Desktop)*
