Same issue with Live 11.3.2 and Windows 10. Sometimes it finishes sometimes (imho after updating big packs) not.. Clicking on cancel seems to be the workaround.

So everyone experiencing this here is on Windows, right?

Same issue just on Mac as well. But a restart of Live did solve it. Started the install on the first start (after updating btw).

Re: Adding Packs never seems to complete
Same issue in 11.3.3 - Windows 10. Installing or updating any pack through the Ableton Live browser results in the install being stuck on 98-100% with no option but to cancel. However, if I cancel, exit and restart Ableton the pack appears to have been installed. So, to install or update a pack, I have to cancel the install when it reaches 100%, then exit and restart Ableton, every time? This is the same buggy, unresponsive software that has only marginally improved since v9 and leaves me wondering whether I should look at Bitwig. When is Ableton going to fix this?

Re: Adding Packs never seems to complete
And why is there no option to install or update all? You have to sit there and do them one at a time, one after the other? Jeeeez - who designed this?

Re: Adding Packs never seems to complete
Not to mention, while packs are installing or updating you can't use Live at all. Please someone, kill me now so I'm not having to spend the next hours doing something slightly less painful and soul-destroying than licking wet paint. What's Creative Flow? When did I last write some music? No idea. So long ago I can't remember. All I know are endless days of installing and updating Ableton Packs.

And Ableton - yes I'm looking at you! - don't you dare fix this in V12 and call it a new feature.

Re: Adding Packs never seems to complete
For me, they "install" but you have to hit "cancel" at the end, then they are fine. It's not every one though, sorry, I didn't pay attention to which ones.
Live 11.x Suite, Push 2, AMD Ryzen 7900x @ 4.7 GHZ, Windows 11, 32 GB ram, Volt 2, Nektar T4 and Atom SQ.
Also a new lappy: i7 1269, 32 gigs of ram.

From my memory it seems to be the Packs that are related to 11.3.chris harbin wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2023 3:12 pmFor me, they "install" but you have to hit "cancel" at the end, then they are fine. It's not every one though, sorry, I didn't pay attention to which ones.
Older Packs seemed to install like normal.
