So I say that I do want the new beta version, FAF closes, launches the installer. I authorize it, midway through installation it throws error codes 2503 and 2502 and quits without updating FAF.
1) Please download the installer directly from github and verify that the download didn't get corrupted (check filesize of msi file), and check if the error also shows up when running that installer 2) If it does, try uninstalling first 3) If you are still having problems, try this: http://www.fixkb.com/2014/01/error-2503 ... ows-8.html

The solution is simple, here it is: 1) Go to C:\Windows\ 2) Find the folder TEMP, open its properties 3) Click on security, select users 4) Allow full control 5) Save settings. 6) Done. The issue with 2503 and 2502 codes should go away
Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.
