My theory is:

The Installer ETKA V8.exe checks in the registry where ETKA is installed .
[Professionally written software always does that, then is goes to that location and checks the software].

If your currently functional software doesn't update, then I would look at below location in your registry. Like mine and probably many other peoples installation, has a LexCom key, that shows a string value saying carfreaks.com, but NO location.
[this regedit value is for 64 bit systems]
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\LexCom

I would like to ask 911Turbo to maybe share this LexCom key with us to see what StringValues his is showing, since he got his Updated successfully.

Another location of interest also is:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LexCom or ETKA instead LexCom

IF I'm not correct about the registry locations, then maybe someone knows where that is correctly.
Anyone with a successful Installation/Update can poke around and find it.

Maybe he doesn't mind Uploading those 2 keys to the forum, so we can adjust our registry accordingly. I'm not saying that this IS the solution, but very likely it could be.

Thanks 911Turbo, Regards AJ.
