2017 Fails Installation
-
Using Make on a Dell Inspiron 1545 Windows 7 64 bit installation hangs up on Installing Universal CRT(Hotfix KB2999226) times out after 10 min. I checked for updates noting recommended rebooted and same result.

Are you installing using...
Select SketchUp 2017 installer exe icon > right-click > context-menu > Run as administrator...
Installing it in any other way will cause problems.
If if already installed in another way [e.g. double-clicking on the exe] then if you accept 'Repair' when reinstalling it should correct the faulty installation...???

I also posted this on the sketchup forum and got the anser that I would need a graphics card to run 2017 as it does not run with graphics accelleration turned off like I have always used it. This will leave a lot of users of make not able to up date beyond 2016. I wanted to test the plugins I wrote to see if they ran under ruby 2.2 which is new in 2017

in connection with an integrated/shared (= lame) intel HD series graphics subsystem - which btw was never made nor thought to use with an OpenGL-based 3D modeler - a driver version higher than 10.18.10.4061 needs to be installed to run SU 2017, otherwise the required OpenGL functionality (as e.g. advanced transparency) is not available or faulty.
You may want check if your system is compatible with the new SketchUp 2017 CheckUp tool.
Check for the latest driver too by visiting the Dell support webpages resp. running the Dell System Detect support application. If no recent version avail you may also want to check if the recent orig. driver form intel can be installed... which often fails because of mods concerning power saving resp. heat emission made by the notebook maker.
