Can't reproduce while installing the 2.93 LTS https://www.blender.org/download/ on Windows 10.

This seems high priority though

Tried it at home with my Win 10 / GTX 1660 computer, couldn't reproduce it here either. But that moment when the installation starts and there is briefly shown some exe-filename consisting of random numbers (can't really see it that quick), it is always something beginning with 3 on the pc where it's not working, and on this where it worked the name begins with 6. Has that something to do with 32/64 bit (couldn't see the second digit)? But I downloaded a file saying "x64" in both cases and they are both 64 bit machines.

Download could be corrupted. Please try with a fresh download of the installer.

Things to try:

  1. Right click the msi file, click properties and head over to the "digital signatures" tab and click the details button, make sure the signature is OK. this will validate the download did not get corrupted
  2. From a command prompt with administrator privileges run msiexec /i "c:\wherever_your_download_folder_lives\blender-2.93.0-windows-x64.msi" /L*V "c:\wherever_your_download_folder_lives\blender_msi_install.log" and attach the resulting log to this ticket
  3. If you are in a rush and don't feel like fighting the installer, the download site does offer a .zip version, that should get you going in the mean time.

Actually I just went to the Blender site to find 2.93.1 is officially released, downloaded it, tried to install - same error. Checked the signature and it was OK. Then I tried it from the command prompt and it worked. Do you need the install log anyway when it was successfully installed?
