When I click on Sky Go on my desktop it says it is installing an update and then I get a message saying "The set up files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program". Any ideas on how to proceed?

Posted by a Superuser, not a Sky employee. Find out moreI would suggest uninstalling the app then downloading a fresh copy from the Sky website as that should be the latest version.
Uninstall the Sky Go app and then go to 'C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming (ensure hidden files/folders are visible) and delete the following folders:
Sky
Sky Go
And if it is present (it might not be) the Cisco and/or Synamedia folder in App\Data\LocalLow.
Empty your recycle bin.
Reboot your PC and then download and install the Sky Go app again from the Sky website here:

Thanks! That did the job.

While the answer is correct in principle, I found that SkyGo cannot always be uninstalled without leaving entries in the registry which prevents a successful reinstallation. While the answer may resolve the issue, be aware that it may not and a more detailed uninstallation may be required. This is based on my experience with a Windows 11 laptop.
