I ran the troubleshooter on XP and here is the log:

It says that 4.7 on XP is not supported so I tried installing 4.7(using the link on the homepage) on Windows 10 and got the same error.The autopatcher also gets stuck at Backing Up Files. So it seems there is a problem with 4.7 support in general. Any suggestions?
