I have been using JabRef for many years as my biblography manager. I work on windows system (WIN10, now ver. 1909). I noticed the JabRef update installer file this time was given as msi file JabRef-5.0.msi rather than the usual exe extension JabRef_windows-x64_4_3_1.exe used in previous updates.
When trying to install the new update file JabRef-5.0.msi, the following error message is displayed
There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
When clicking OK and Next, the setup is finished without installing anything.
The following solutions have been tried:
- Empty internet temporary folder.
- Update Java to the recent version
jre-8u241-windows-x64.
- Uninstall old version and reinstall the new one.
None of them worked.
Is there any idea what's wrong?
