For the past several times opening Local I get a notification that a new version 9.0.3 is available. Installing the update fails to take and reopening Local results in notification that a new version 9.0.3 is available. How to fix this installation problem?

Hi @slabydl

Can you try updating your Local app manually?

1. Quit Local if running
2. Download the latest release: [Releases - Local](https://localwp.com/releases/9.0.3/)
3. Open the downloaded `.dmg` and drag `Local.app` to `/Applications`. If prompted to replace the existing version, go ahead and replace the existing version.

I started with a clean install on Windows 10 and did download the latest release.

1. It mandated installing in the c:\users folder - which it didn’t before
2. After installing in the c:\users\Local folder, it ran an installation, but at the end declared that the zip file created by an earlier version of Local was not valid with a popup message that self-closed, and then proceeded to do a complete uninstall.

You might want to try a full uninstall, but prior to that make sure all of your sites are backed up and saved. You can copy the site files to save to your desktop or Cloud/External storage.

Then follow the uninstall steps for Windows here to make sure you remove any references to Local, and then start fresh with a new download.
