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
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...
Are you using at minimum Windows 7? The ARC software is supported for Windows 7/8/8.1/10
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.
Rebooting is always a good idea with Windows.
Are you installing as an Administrator? If you do not have administrative privilege on your PC, it might cause issues.
ahh okay then DJ! i sincerely apologize, the reboot did it! it looks to be installing now but the status bar has not moved yet but its more hopeful than before um while i have your attention do you guys ship to the uk? if so how much will the JD kit cos in GBP please? including delivery as i would rather buy direct from you guys instead of amazon or something, as then i know my money is going directly into your pocket as it should
Yes, ez robot ships world wide... Just a note... Brookstone now sells ez robot stuff too if you prefer buying from them.... Good choice.... JD is the most popular of the revolution bots.... My fav too...
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.
