Unable to Install - Windows 10
Feb 10, 2019
Installer initiates and begins to download Storyline 360. I have verified that these files are going into %appdata% and all permissions to the install folder have been granted (I should not have to check this, but thought it may be worth a shot). The install seemingly completes, but I am left with an "Install" button instead of any way to execute/run the application. Upon clicking "Install" again, the install app quickly shows an installation status and then goes back to "Install". I have enabled error logging within the installer, and I am seeing the following:

How is access to this path being denied? I can even pull it up in a web browser.
I have never, ever encountered software that would begin installing and then just silently fail without reporting ANYTHING. Even independent software developers put together better installers than this, in ALL of the offerings I have ever used. If the installer is this bad, the software itself must be a real treat.

Hi Steve,
I'm sorry for the trouble you've run into - as that's definitely not expected, nor the experience we'd want you to start with.
I went ahead and opened a Support case for you so that you can work one on one with our Engineers to figure out what the issue is. You'll see a confirmation of that shortly and feel free to respond to that email if you have other details to share. They'll be in touch with any next steps or additional questions.
I’m having the same problem too been trying to download the storyline 360 over and over again but still failed to download, please help!
Hi, Muizz. Welcome to the community, and I'm sorry for the trouble!
Great call to also reach out to our Support team. Looking at your case, I see Vevette was able to help get Storyline downloaded successfully on your machine. 🎉
If you run into any more roadblocks, please let us know!
Just to make folks aware... my entire team has run into this issue.
Oh no! Sorry to hear you and your team have come across this issue, Bill.
I see you're already working my teammate, Cleo, to see if we could isolate the cause of this problem. You're in great hands, and I'll follow along in your case!
Hi,
Do we have a fix for this issue? Our team have recently moved to Windows 10 and we can't install on any of our computers now.
Is there a solution/workaround for this?
Thanks
Hi there, Gouri. I opened a case with my team so we can help. Since you have Articulate 360 for Teams, you'll get priority support!
Is there a fix for this. I am getting similar message. Whenever I click on install, the download fails.

Hi Andy,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing that you're running into a similar issue. I was able to take a look at the support cases for the others in this conversation and it looks like all of them were a bit different, so I do not have a standard fix to share with you.
I've opened up a support case on your behalf to work directly with one of our support engineers as well and you should be hearing from someone soon.
I just downloaded the free trial of Articulate 360, but so far, neither Storyline nor Studio will install properly. I get the following message: unable to read data from the transport connection. I now have 58/60 trial days left, and have yet to even install/try the software. Very frustrating. Can you please help me fix this?
Hi Desiree,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing the error you are experiencing when installing your software.
I'm not familiar with this error, so I've opened a support case on your behalf so that you can work directly with one of our support engineers. You should be hearing from someone soon.
