When I try to install the latest update from within the web portal, it fails and tells me to try manually. I then try manually and it also fails.

What does the Windows log say about the failed uninstall? Sounds like a possible rights issue or something similar. ---

I am having the same problem. I do have MS C++ 14.0, so that is not the problem. ---

One possibility is to run [SysInternals Process Monitor](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processmonitor.aspx "SysInternals Process Monitor") during the repair and see what gets logged there at the time of these errors. The resulting capture file (PML) file would be huge and need to be zipped and uploaded to dropbox or google drive and link sent to me by PM - together with the repair log files What anti virus / internet security do you have ? You could try to disable whilst running repair [Next page](https://forums.plex.tv/t/cant-install-latest-update/139649.md?page=2)
