Help!
I navigated to
http://sia.tech/apps/#uiNext, I clicked on the SIA UI for users Windows 64 bit download link and then extracted the archive Sia-UI-v1.2.2-win32-x64.zip
Next, I double-clicked on the file called SIA-UI.exe
Soon, the Sia-UI had a message "Loading can take a while after upgrading to a new version. Check the release notes for more details."
Later, I came back and Sia was now telling me:
A critical error loading Sia has occured: Siad unexpectedly exited. Error log: Loading...
(0/6) Loading siad...
(1/6) Loading gateway...
(2/6) Loading consensus...
(3/6) Loading transaction pool...
(4/6) Loading wallet...
(5/6) Loading host...
(6/6) Loading renter...
Closing host...
Closing wallet...
Closing transaction pool...
Closing consensus set...
Closing gateway...
invalid argument
Can somebody please help me figure out what the issue is here?
Thanks,
Steve

For those having problems with the client: Most of the people doesn't have problems, but apparently certain hardware or software configurations make the UI a bit unstable during the first update of the blockchain.
I recommend you to do this first synchronization on a Command Line interface instead of in the UI: it is way less prone to crashes.
1- Close Sia-UI clicking close on the icon on the system try
2- On the file explorer of Windows, go to Users/your_user/AppData/Roaming/Sia (some of this folders might be hidden). In that folder, find the sub-folder where the files siad.exe and siac.exe are located.
3- Open 2 command lines in that folder (you know, those black screens with white text): on the options ribbon of the file explorer, File > Open command prompt > Open command prompt
4- In the first command line window, type "siad" and press enter.
Leave this window open all the time5- In the second window, type "siac consensus" every time you want to check the sync status. It will indicate you which block has downloaded so far. We are currently in the block #109.000
6- It can take up to 2/3 days to fully sync the blockchain, be patient
7- Once it sais the blockchain is synced, you can close the command lines and open the UI regularly
