Hi all,
I was upgrading from v2 to new v3 beta of pez desktop, but I got this error message:
There was an error downloading the update Error# 16824.
I uninstalled the desktop and re downloaded it then it tried to upgrade and failed again.
Here is a picture to better describe my problem.
Any suggestions please!
Hey Chadwick
I noticed that your trying to update you Adobe Air client but, what seems to happen is that the version number was conflicted with the update causing it to fail. The best workaround in this type of situation to completely uninstall Adobe Air and clear your computers cache then followed by a full fresh install of Adobe Air.
This is a common type of problem with Adobe Air's update and Adobe is working closely to fix this common loop hole.
Clean your Cache :
To clear your computer's cache you will need a 3rd part application that can clean hidden folders and etc. One program I will recommend for you to use it called "Ccleaner". Its a light weight program ~5mb but, once it's install you can selection the options for a necessary cache cleanup.
Thanks,
Samuel Patterson
Do you mean the Prezi Desktop?
If you are using the Prezi desktop, there seems to be an OS incompatibility with the new version under Windows.
However, that was a year ago. And they said it has been fixed.
Well, since you are still getting the update error, the workaround before was to download and install the update manually. The employees of Prezi Desktop reported that the auto updater had problems, and as mentioned, it should have been fixed a year ago.
Download and install the update from here:
