Problems updating RV under Windows 8

[Wolfgang]

I will try this tonight on my system - I just picked up a windows 8 desktop and still need to setup my JTS/HPS games there.

I don't know if you've tried this but one other option: open the game update (usually it's a zip file despite it's ".exe" extension) and then manually drag everything into your game directory and see if that works (may require an independent Zip program).

I would also try just moving the entire game directory to another location on the hard drive and then try the update (I keep move mine to the root of the D: drive). Doing this won't break the game.

Seems as though you should get a warning message too: the system should throw up a warning about overwriting a file (unless the updater is programmed to avoid that).
