- Project Props dialog box after updating to August 2020
Installation was a problem. It kept failing (hanging right at the end) and giving me an error that a certain folder could not be created. I don't remember the folder name, but "Amazing Titles" was at the end of it. I also remember that /23.0/ was part of the folder name. I didn't think periods were allowed in folder names... is that why it failed?
I tried about 5 times to install the update but even though I got the same error the last time, it continued and "finished" (I did not choose "skip.") How do I know if I have "Amazing Titles?" (I saw the threads about how long the update takes. 15 minutes or so for me the last time. I could see the virus scan going through each element which took time.)
More importantly, how do I get VS to speak English again?
I changed it to German, closed/reopened the program then changed it back to English, then closed/reopened. No luck. - This happened too (Relink dialog box)

In this process I had to delete the X6 folder in Programs and this took me a few hours to figure out. I kept getting permission errors even though I was the owner of the folder. I won't bore everyone with the details, but I tried A LOT of things I found online. In the end, the only thing that worked was this: Open the folder you want to delete, open that folder, and keep opening folders until you get to the lowest one in the tree. Delete that lowest folder, and keep going up the tree until you've deleted every folder. For whatever reason, I could delete folders this way, but not the topmost "mothership" folder. I'm sure others will want to tell me that I didn't have my permissions set correctly somewhere along the way, but trust me, this is a MS Win 10 issue that is all over the internet and the answer always given is "change the owner and permissions," which rarely, if ever works. Okay, back to the Chinese issue.
