Stuck at installation

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Split from Not able to open start.exe even after restarting my computer several times..

 Hello! I did exactly what you said. There are several licence codes there. I don't know what I should be seeing. And here is the folder where installation is located

Location explorer.exe in your windows folders:

• right-click Run As Administrator
• Use same local admin account used to install TIA Portal V16.
• In the explorer address bar, type %temp% and press enter
• This is the local admin account where portal install package was expanded, and the install log files(s) are stored.
• Find the portal install log and review it
• Verify it did actually did something

Why are you seeking out the Start.exe file?

Would you kindly post a screenshot of the folder where the V16 install files were located with the install files shown?

Hello. I was trying to install TIA Portal V16.0 and after running installation, it did extract the files and did not continue to install. It says installation finished. But when I go to the path, there is a file named start.exe and when I try to run it either as an administrator or normally, nothing happens. Can you help me with this? I am stuck at installation! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice! I chose the destination folder manually and installed it to D:\ My exe and .001 files are at desktop and when I try to install it as the way you say,let it pick automatically, it gives me the warning to make sure the destination for installation is writeable. So,should I move the folders to D:\ then let it install itself on D:\ ?

I did not realize that d:\tia portal was the temp folder for any admin user.

Do not install from any folder you like.

Copy the .exe, .001..00n files to a folder like the downloads folder, and launch the install from there.  Let it pick the default temp folder location to extract the files to and then launch.

Windows expects files to be extracted / expanded into the temp folder, so it allows installation to start from that folder.

It most likely does not allow installation from d:\tia portal.

 Actually, I have found the source of the problem. Since my name is YALÇIN and it contains non-English characters, I couldn’t complete the installation. I had to create a new user and install it on this directory! Now installing! Thank you for your help

Move the downloaded files from the desktop to your downloads folder.

Then right-click on the .exe and run as Administrator.  Don't just double-click the exe to start the install / expansion.

If you do not have space on your c: drive to install from, that's a different matter.

You can do an online search for allowing specific folders be used as "trusted" & "installation" folders.

I don't recall the procedure, just that there is one and I avoid it because it takes so little for an installation package to make an assumption and then the install will fail. 

The more complicated the install package, the easier it is for one small piece to stop the entire thing.

TIA Portal install is a mighty complicated install package.

I'm currently having the same issue. I tried everything posted here but still not able to install TIA Portal. I have TIA Portal v16 and I need v15. Getting the 'installation finished' message but TIA portal v15 is not installing.

This is the path where the installations files are being extracted, but when I try to open this location, nothing is there. This user 'ADMIN~2' doesn't even exist in my laptop and the weirdest thing saying the files already exist and if I want to overwrite.

Can someone please help me? 

Thanks.
