I’m currently running 7.01.0012 on Windows 8. I’ve tried turning off my firewall, but to no avail. Any other suggestions?
It’s working here, but I’ve had a similiar issue once. It resolved automatically. If the issue persist you need to contact support.
Thanks for the reply! I’ve been having the problem for at least a week. In fact, I’m not sure if it has ever worked since I switched to Windows 8. I was just trying to avoid buying a support ticket. 
Hello,
A few of our customers were facing the same issue due to their antivirus. Try deactivating yours before updating.

Had the same problem -
I run AVG, and when I turned it off - Update worked as expected
Nice one Bartho!

I’m glad I could help.
