Tried to download and install update.

Win 10 says Package could not be opened.  Contact the application vendor to verify this is a valid Windows Installer package.
  
This seems to be the standard MS response to any update of non MS software.  Usual trick of turn off virus protector and firewall no longer work!!  
Any ideas how to get past "granny MS" who wants to lock down everything they did not create and SELL.

where did you download the installer? Is it was an official site?

Windows update has included folder protection in Windows Defender and this seems to be the problem. You can turn the protection off by clicking on the system wheel at the bottom left of the defender security centre page then clicking on the blue virus and threat protection settings. Scroll Down to Controlled folder access and switch it off and then try installing. My installation of Libre Office was also killed when I had my update refused. Unfortunately you may have to get the administrator to do this for you. https://vidmate-apk.in/home/ https://instasave.onl/w3toys/
