Some moron admin banned me from a Facebook group when I tried to troubleshoot an relevant issue. I may have been the first to report it, but every user in the world was suddenly unable to install the necessary software for a popular product with a large user base (millions?). Just a completely misleading error message that prevents installation.
I was determined. When I found a simple work-around later that night, I was forced to share on YouTube to reach the group members (banned, remember?): just change the system date.
15,000 views in 5 months and getting thanks every day. Due to the nature of every user encountering this the next time they reinstall the application of connect to a new PC, I don’t see an end in sight. I even found out that the administrator who banned me was sending people to my video even though it wouldn’t exist if he had his way.
If you have an older Cricut machine and can’t get the Cricut Craft Room software installed, try this:

The irony: I didn’t intend to continue using that software at all and only needed to verify that the used Cricut Expression machine worked before buying unofficial software that’s no longer legally available due to Cricut lawsuits. All the later machines can’t even be used with that alternative application, so they were SOL. The manufacturer wanted to force everyone to a newer machine that uses their cloud-connected apps, so they aren’t sharing the fix or updating the software for the old machines.
