It now appears to be mandatory to upgrade to ETKA 8 if you want to install further updates.

Today after downloading this week's update 1186 etc. and starting Etka "Update", immediately a screen pops up prompting to update the system to ETKA 8. After following the instructions, the error message comes up as mentioned earlier in this thread, see below pic.
After pressing OK, the update process is aborted, including the data update.

I have the German version 7.5 Plus obtained from post#1, running on a VM Windows 10 on a desktop, and on a laptop Windows 10. Both run into the same problem.

Is there perhaps anybody who figured out a fix for this, or has any suggestion?
Thanks a lot!
