Well, I have to report how stupid I turned out, but I must say I was pretty much helped by Premier site. Yesterday I downloaded the .052 update, and ran the setup:
"1628: The installation cannot be completed"
D'uh. Restart. The same. Remove .050 completely & reinstall. The same. Write to Premier Support. I just knew they couldn't reproduce it. Search for setup's log file -- there's none. System event log -- nothing helpful. Try to log on under another user account & retry. No luck either. Premier guys cannot reproduce it, of course. Last desperate try -- maybe the downloaded file was damaged... re-download it from Premier.
Click on the file update... save to disk... overwrite. In the meantime, corner of my eye reads the long paragraph above the link...
IT WAS ITANIUM UPDATE ALL THE TIME INSTEAD OF IA32!
The package IDs differ in "obvious" manner -- the right one is W_FC_PC_8.0.050_PE052.1.exe and the wrong one is W_FC_PC_8.0.050_PL052.1.exe. The words "Itanium" and "IA32" are spelled indeed, embedded in 6-lines long identical paragraphs. I know I should have read more carefully, but...
As a suggestion, can the download list in Premier be organized a tad more readably? For example, a table containing e.g. "Platform" (Win32/Win64/Linux etc), "Product" (Fortran/C++ etc.) "Date" and "Description" columns would be far easier to parse. I guess it's too late to change package ID nomenclature, but something like IVF_Win32_8.0.052upd.exe would be a tad friendlier too.
Grumblingly yours,
