In the last two weeks I had an issue with Dynamo: i couldn’t update it. I tried downloading the new version 2.0.0 from the site and installing it. I encountered some problem and I found out through some question of other users that the majority of installation issue are caused by a conflict with older versions of Dynamo. I unistalled my version (1.3.2) and I retried the installation but I still had the same problem. I then tried to reinstall the older version both 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 and the issue was now diffused on the other installations too.
When I try to install any Dynamo version the program correctly extract the .msi files in a temp folder but then when the real installation starts it stops itself while installing and a window pop-up both when it tries installing DynamoCore.msi and DynamoRevit.msi

From what I could see on the internet the problem could be either caused by a missing link or by a Windows problem
I tried some solutions (like the register/unregister commands in the prompt) but it seems nothing is working.
The funny thing is that if I open the temporary folder of the installation and I run the .msi by themselves they work fine. The problem is that it is not a solution being that while I can install Dynamo Core just fine the DynamoRevit.msi cannot be run by itself
I’m running Windows 10 and I have Revit 2018
Thanks
