During the installation of version 5.0.7, as Windows Explorer was opened I recieved the message that Windows Explorer will be closed. I closed it manually and continued with the installation. This worked but Windows Desktop was gone, I could see only the windows previously opened and nothing else. I had no other solution but to switch of my Laptop and to switch it on again. Then everything was back to normal.
