I have been attempting to install AC v8.3.0 on a new Win10 computer (as main computer), but the installation consistently fails with errors. It appears that files (SQL Express, etc.) that the AC installer attempts to download from Microsoft cannot be retrieved.

I tried installing under safe mode, as administrator, as satellite computer (w/o SQL), etc.

Nothing worked.

Windows 10 Home 64-bit, version 1703

I have written to AC Help as we are subscribed to the service, and hopefully they will have a suggestion other than "Use AC v9.x"

Anyone?
