When following the instructions provided in the email:

_How to update:_

_Quit the simulator if running_  
_Open the navdata update tool (Start menu \> Navigraph, or launch app with Navigraph logo in tray)_  
_If you have an earlier dataset installed, press Remove_  
_Press Install_

When I press install, I get the following window pop-up:

_Installation failed_  
_Cannot read property ‘files’ of undefined_

Hi - You might have been very unlucky to press the button the second we switched to the 2013 cycle. Please try it again now.

Just saw this post in the FAQs, will try this now …

> [@FAQ - MSFS Cannot Read Property “Files” of undefined](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/faq-cannot-read-property-files-of-undefined/627):
>
> If you should receive the message Cannot Read Property “Files” of undefined, you are likely running or have installed over an older Beta installer. Please use Windows 10 to uninstall Navigraph 1.0.xxxx Beta yyy , then re-install from [Navigraph Navdata Update Beta](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/navigraph-navdata-update-beta/133) Cheers Ian
