Faulty installation

I had an older plus version that all of a sudden would not work anymore nor would it let me sign in.  I decided to take the offer to upgrade my plus version.  I downloaded it and installed it.  It said installation complete.  I clicked the button to Start Now but nothing happened.  I searched my computer and there is no real player or real times program.  Both the older version and the new installation are no longer there.  I search for the folder, but it is empty.  I thought it was a fluke so I installed it again and had the same result.  No program after it says the installation was complete.

  Thanks.  That appeared to do the trick.

  I had to install the free version even though I have paid for the prime version.  I thought that upon signing in it would change over to the paid version, but there was no indication that that happened.

  How can I tell which version I have, and what do I need to do if I have the free version and want to use the paid version?

  Thanks again!

  You have already purchased the RealPlayer Plus. To know the latest version of RealPlayer (18.1.7.343) visit https://customer.real.com/hc/en-us/articles/204039513

  You can download the latest version of RealPlayer from the below link:
  
  http://cache-download.real.com/free/windows/installer/player/rt1/T10ENFIB/RealTimes-RealPlayer.exe
  
  After installing, you just need to sign into RealPlayer software using the same email address to activate the Premium features. To do so, follow the steps provided in the below article:
  
  https://customer.real.com/hc/en-us/articles/204040653
  
  Once you are signed in, you should see a star symbol (*) followed by your name located in the upper right corner of the player. The star symbol denotes that your Premium features have been activated.

  I hope this information helps.
