Thanks for the detailed response.
I Downloaded the update from 2.4.1 to the latest, however in the error tab, it states 'Failed to extract miner package file' for 6 x miners. Cool, yes, ccminer spmodgit etc.

I have restarted the miner twice, system restart and installed the latest version again, but still the same error.

Those are all miner programs archived in the .7z format.  That issue has happened to several other users and depends on the install folder and your Windows config.  Some OS configs do not give the 7Z extractor the disk permissions required to extract the miner files to some locations.  This happened to one user who was trying to run the software form a folder on the Desktop. A few other users had to move the software from the default install location in the AppData folder to a different directory  on their hard drive.

The easiest way to move the software would be to use the HA installer to install the software  in a new location of your choosing. As long as the gpu*.* and config.* file’s demain in the Hash Auger folder in the /AppData directory, it will use your current config and benchmarks.

I have tried to install in another folder, but still the same problem. Its installed in the default location with a shortcut on the desktop.
Also, when the software is started, everytime it takes about 4 minutes to initialize and then open and about another minute, while all the miners download in the download tab. I installed it on a second miner and about the same time to initialize and download. I just thought that this was how long it takes, with the same error trying to extract the miners.
Downloaded and installed on the third miner, and it initialize within seconds and is ready to start and extracts all the miners.
The only thing different is the first two were initially installed with version 2.4.1 and updated, whilst the last miner was 2.4.5.
Any ideas?
