you dont suppose its because i am in a different country? i have no idea really but i will reboot now and let you know what happens

#10  

Nope, the country should be irrelevant...ARC is on computers all over the world... I am positive you will be able to figure out what is causing the install issues....

No sarcasm intended:). When asked a question or helping someone, i start from ground zero. As my grandfather used to say, you don't know what you don't know! Our software has currently been installed in over 130 countries.

If you know how to install a program, that's a great step. The next is check the following...

  1. Are you using at minimum Windows 7? The ARC software is supported for Windows 7/8/8.1/10

  2. Is a virus scanner running that could prevent the installation? I assure you that our software is safe. I wrote it entirely myself and there are no exploits, viruses or spyware. It's the safest software you have ever downloaded:) Disable any virus scanners during the installation.

  3. Rebooting is always a good idea with Windows.

  4. Are you installing as an Administrator? If you do not have administrative privilege on your PC, it might cause issues.

I'm unsure what the import duty is of JD into the UK - sorry. There are a few retailers in the UK, which we don't mind you purchasing from to save a few dollars on import:) here's a list of our retailers in the UK: https://synthiam.com/shop/retailers#United Kingdom

Import duty and VAT apply and have done for every delivery I've had from EZ-Robot.

Electronics has an import duty rate of 4.7% and a VAT rate of 20%, you may find that some couriers will also add a handling fee too.
