Can't update Watchtower Library.

Windows 10 Home, version 1903 for X64 system (KB4497165), Product ID: 00325-80000-0060-AAoem

Intel (R) Core (TM) i3-7100u, CPU @ 2.40 GHz, 64 bit operating system, X64-based processer

789 GB free

This problem started when I tried to update the Watchtower Library, but computer said couldn't because something was open in the WTL, I checked everything, couldn't find anything open. After numerous tries I uninstalled the WTL and tried to download/install several times. The "Mount" doesn't appear as the instructions said it should. The program downloads but can't open it.

So I copied the WTL from another laptop and pasted to my computer, it will open very slowly but with the 2017 version. Would not let me update. 

Has anyone experienced this, and if so, how can I update the WTL app? I am not real sharp on computers but can follow directions.

Please help.

Thank you,

bajarick

    Well done Murray

    This worked for me and so pleased. Tried so many times to fix this problem and failed. I think the reboot part very important.

    Thanks so much

    Try deleting all files under the "C:\ProgramData\Watchtower\WTLibrary" directory and retry the Watchtower Library update. Because "C:\ProgramData" is usually a hidden folder, you may need to type the full path into the Windows Explorer program to get to its contents.
