Unpacking Error 1

This error is typical of an incomplete download.

vsTASKER install comes with two files:

The installer, ending with .exe (the one which has been started and gave the above error)

The data pack, ending with .pak

You must download both files before starting the install (and wait for all files to be fully downloaded)
Upgrade fails at start

If you cannot install a product update, because the installer complains it cannot find the product or the version, maybe the product install did not complete. It looks like under Windows 10, a security level prevents vsTASKER installer to write to registry.

This is the case when the installer hangs at 99% because of the OS preventing modifying the registry (or any anti-virus).

The simple fix is to manually modify the registry (longer fix is to reinstall the software with admin privilege and anti-virus off)

Call regedit (Start, cmd regedit)

Open the following sub-keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

---- SOFTWARE

-------- VirtualSim

------------ vsTASKER

If no VirtualSim, add it as a new key.

If no vsTASKER, add it as a new key under VirtualSim one.

You should have the following datafor vsTASKER key:

Directory REG_SZ C:\VirtualSim\vsTasker

Uninstaller REG_SZ C:\Windows\vsTASKER Uninstaller.exe

Version REG_SZ 6.0.22

if no Directory or Version, add new string (Uninstaller is optional) then double-click on the (new) string to set the value:

Quit regedit and install the update normally.
