I just applied this update to two computers and it didn’t go very well. In both cases Send/Receive (with other FLEx users) wouldn’t work (no dialogue or anything, just the spinning circle or a notice that FLEx Bridge had stopped working). In both cases, however, I re-ran the installer, selected to repair the installation and after that Send/Receive worked (although the installer crashed a couple times on the Win 7 machine before I could accomplish the repair). 

One computer was running Windows 7 in a virtual machine (VMWare Fusion) on a Mac (El Capitan), and the other computer was running Windows 10 in a virtual machine (VMWare Fusion) also on a Mac (El Capitan).

I just had a similar experience.

But after reinstalling and rebooting still no joy.

I finally selected the Project Messages menu option, rather than going straight to S/R and this seemed to kick start Flex Bridge.

 

Working fine now. (On Win10 64-bit)

If Flex Bridge needs to sort stuff out after a update/install, it at LEAST needs a Please wait… Cancel dialog.
