[SOLVED] GIMP and GeoGebra

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble installing the GIMP 2.10.24 and GeoGebra 6.0.637.0 packages.

When I try to update a machine (which already has the packages, but an older version), both packages fail to install. However,

the installation on a clean machine works fine. I do have to go back to some machines to perform a "forced installation."

Here's the error message:
TimeoutExpired: Command '"gimp-2.10.24-setup-3.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /RESTARTEXITCODE=3010 /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /SP- --disable-check-update' timed out after 300 seconds with output ''''

Hello,
you should try a manual installation test on a machine that is experiencing an error to see if the installer displays an error message.
Regards,
Denis

The problem is sort of solved.
At the end of the school year, I'll reinstall Windows and therefore the software.
The two packages are no longer showing errors.
I'll mark the topic as "resolved."
We'll see how it goes during the school year.

Thanks for the feedback, agatoi.

Updates, and even more so uninstalls, aren't always handled well by software installers. If you manage to find the error, it's possible to override the `def uninstall()` function to prepare the uninstallation so that it proceeds smoothly and silently.

Best regards,

Denis
