Solution

You can’t update 32-bit and 64-bit Storyline 360 at the same time.

We’ve found that trying to update 32-bit and 64-bit Storyline 360 simultaneously on a Mac with Parallels could result in the error message FFFFFFFF. (This message displays when you click the question mark icon next to the “Unable to install Storyline 360" error.) Try updating each version one at a time.

You're experiencing a temporary computer glitch.

The first and quickest solution that often fixes installation issues is to reboot your computer, then try installing, updating, or uninstalling your Articulate software again.

If you don't have the proper security permissions to install software, ask your IT staff for assistance.

Microsoft Windows is out of date.

Run Windows Update and install all important updates.

There's an issue with User Account Control (UAC) in your Windows computer or virtual machine that's preventing software installation.

This is a rare issue, but if the solutions above haven't resolved the error, try this:

1. Open the Windows sound manager. One way to do this is to right-click the speaker icon in your computer's system tray (by the clock) and select Sounds.
2. Scroll to Windows User Account Control in the Program Events list.
3. Use the Sounds drop-down list at the bottom of the window to select None, then click OK to close the sound manager.
4. Reboot your computer and try to install, update, or uninstall your software again.
