I am also getting an error message when I attempt to download the update file. Mine says "Failed to open "C:/Users\XXXXX\Downloads\" for writing"
It also says this when I try to download to my desktop. I have been trying to install the update for a couple of weeks now and no go.
I have Windows Vista Basic on a 6 month old computer. I do not have security blocking downloads. Please help. Thanks!

Pleiadestar: Help -> Check for updates... doesn't work correctly. So download and install latest VLC manually.
jason1980: shutdown all running vlc.exe instances (use task manager) and close down your browsers before installing new VLC version. Or reboot computer and install.

Hey thanks managed to resolved it.
A little weird that VLC is running on the taskbar after uninstallation of V 0.9.
