Thanks for the info, however I'm still having problems. When I try to install 401704(and 4.17.3 for that matter) I get the following Windows notice: Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". This is then followed by Avast putting the file in the Security chest. I have tried the Avast add exception? as you recommended without success. I have tried loading? with Windows firewall and virus protection turned off; still the same result. I have been able to upgrade to? 4.17.2.
Many thanks for your help, Mike.

I've been having the same problem, I cannot install on either of my Win 10 machines. I am using Avast anti virus.
Michael,? You should pick up the phone and call Avast. this will give you a good idea of how great they are at supporting you or not.?
The problem is AVAST and nothing else.? In fact it is not a problem, just the Anti-Virus doing it's intended job, protecting your data.
If you paid for the software they should support you and show you how to add the NEW JMRI Version? to the exclusion file or add it to the Whitelist.
Other option, dedicate one computer to JMRI and keep it off the NET. KIll the anti-virus. You will not be bothered with false positives any more.
