XamarinInstaller.exe does nothing!

Martin.S

Hi,

I'm trying to install Xamarin on my Windows machine. Xamarin installer starts, then ends and finally disappears after a couple of seconds from the Task list.

I've tried restart machine, I've tried run it as the admin even tried switch the network. Nothing helped. No message, no log, nothing.
The problems with the Xamarin Windows installer seems to be legendary.

PLEASE could You spend some time and fix it forever? Check the connectivity, prerequisites in advance? Inform user about errors? Give him a chance to troubleshoot?

Thanks, Martin

Ok, after the setting of the system date on 1.11.2015 I was able to at least reach the error window with the links for the manual download. Will continue tmrw.

I was able to install Xamarin Studio after i downloaded the full installer instead of the web installer.

Thanks for the report. This was a bug in the installer. It is discussed in the following announcement:

I will close this thread to consolidate any further information and updates onto that announcement.
