Background:
The PV Analyzer application checks for firmware and PV module database updates when the application is running while the computer is connected to the internet.
Firmware updates are automatically downloaded and stored in this this folder (for users with Fluke PVA 5.x):
Deleting this folder is sometimes required. Reconnecting the PC to the internet and opening the PVA application will create a new folder with new copies of the firmware.
Other steps to resolve firmware update errors:
-Run PVA app as Admin (typically resolves "unable to start OTA server" error)
-complete all recommended Windows and application updates: https://my.fluke.com/en-us/article/KA-04333
-Attempt firmware updates using a different PC
