I had the same problem and had to reinstall making sure that the mcam8 and shared mcam8 with the config files were on my local drive and not on the network. along with changing some of the default settings to my C: drive and not network drives.

I am just making an educated guess here, but it looks like your trying to run the install without extracting it from a RAR file first.. if that's the case.. then extract it to a folder on your hard drive and then try again.

 

If it is in a RAR / ZIP file then the installer wont be able to find the files because the installer doesn't have logic built in to decompress the compressed files, If I am wrong about it being in a RAR file then I have no idea..

this is directly from the mastercam updates, I didn't download any files.

You would be best to log onto mastercam.com and download the update file directly.

It would appear that somehow the automatic updater is failing to download or read the required files.

Allan, i did that too, i got the same results. 

I finally got it to work, i took the initial install .exe of mastercam and started the install, this dropped the .msi file in the temp folder. I then copied the file. stopped the install and pasted the file back in the folder. Then the update worked just fine. I'm just not sure why the initial updater was not unpacking the files into the temp folder.
