The dev team is looking into blocking this particular kind of cleverness.

These problems should all be fixed now.

We will investigate.  If anyone notices other problems, please add them to the comments, and we will see them.

Sorry about the lack of warning. You are correct that this was an unplanned outage. And yes, the problems with the site and application center were part of it. Most things are up and running again and the rest will be back very soon.

MaplePrimes should be back to normal now, but if you do experience any problems, please let us know.

For technical reasons, we don't always update the version number when we go from a .n release to a .n.1 release. But you can verify that the update was successful by looking at the Build ID, which should be 1762575 after you've applied the update.

@Carl Love, please check your build ID, and if it's not 1762575 and you still can't update, let us know.

Thanks for this. Reminds me of when I spent an afternoon trying to trisect an angle with a straight edge and compass, even though I had been told  it was impossible, Pre-internet, so difficult to look up on a Sunday afternoon, and after all, my father could have been wrong.  (I knew he wasn't, but I decided not let that stop me. Guess I was a rebellious teenager. :-) )

We did fix a problem in the installation of the update that has successfully addressed the installation issue for some users.  Unfortunately, it appears there may be additional causes for the issue of installing the package not working that were not addressed by this fix. We are investigating, and we encourage anyone who is experiencing this problem to contact Maplesoft Technical Support directly –support@maplesoft.com. The support team will work directly with you to further troubleshoot and resolve the problem.

This has been fixed in the Maple 2020.1.1 update.

I’m happy to be able to be able to tell you that the fix for this problem is now easily available as part of the Maple 2020.1.1 update.

@djc We're looking into it.

This problem has been fixed in the newly released Maple 2020.1 update. Thank you for your help in finding and investigating this issue.

@Glowing We used ultra compression to reduce the file size for 2019.2.*, which is why it is a lot smaller than 2019.1.

An update to MapleSim is now also available, which provides these fixes to MapleSim users. See MapleSim 2019.2.1 update for details.

We have released a new update to Maple to correct this problem.  See Maple 20191.2.1 now available for details.
