I am working on compiling an existing project with 4.4.8.122 and it uses VC v4.72.0. I have the .exe download and when I try to install it it states “installation only possible on versions V4.4.4.0 and less than V4.99.99.99.” it also says an error occurred while reading RegistryBaseFolder.txt. The file is there and it states “SOFTWARE\BR_AS_44_L001”. Any guidance on how to resolve this is much appreciated.
Are you trying to install it directly outside AS or with “Tools->Upgrades” from within AS ?
Typically upgrades can only be installed from the tools.
If you want to upgrade it outside AS you can use the following
