Trying to join a zoom meeting. A screen pops up and says “update downloaded.” after that it says “ ✔ The installer is ready. If installation didn’t start, you can run it again below.” nothing downloads so i click on the “run the installer” button provided, but nothing happens. The button doesn’t do anything and nothing downloads.i download the new version from the website, but still can’t join the meeting. help me please :)

    @Kat Udarro I would just join through a browser. Go to the general site and enter the meeting ID and meeting password.

    Now I am getting an error message when i try to download the new version from the meeting link i am being sent. “Error writing to file:C\Program Files (x86)ScreenConnect Client” some code in parenthesis and then “Verify that you have access to that directory” Not sure what to do.

    Use a browser until you can fix the app for an urgent meeting m. Meeting id is the first number you’ll see in the link. Then look for “pwd” in the link. Meeting password will be after that. Also ask the meeting sender if they changed the ID.
