M-Audio Air installer won’t run, Win11 – Hardware (Instruments and Effects) Forum

Hi.. got a new M-Audio Air 14.. new Win 11.. can’t install drivers.
Driver installer from the website wont complete.. it briefly shows the Visual C++ installer, then a flash of the next window but then ends. VB is installed, the manual installer says it is. I’ve tried running as Administrator. I even extracted the msi installer from the package and that gets the installer running; except it fails at the end with an unknown error, perhaps because it can’t access all the data it needs.
Have contacted M-Audio but its a weekend …..
Any ideas?! ty
