Can't add any programs in Windows 10

[Steve-Bros]

OS: Windows 10 Home
2 monitors

I decided to install this program very recently, but whenever I try to add an .exe file, this happens.

This completely defeats the purpose of the program, but I like the concept, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, @Steve-Bros Have you tried adding other programs other than eclipse?

[Steve-Bros]

I have. I tried to add programs like Microsoft Edge Chromium and Notepad++, along with some portable programs. No .exe file works.

[ahkohd]

That's wried. Can you do me a favour? Please test it on other windows 10 laptop, It might be a permissions issue.

I tested it here it works so I am not sure how to reproduce your issue.
Please feedback would be nice, Thanks!

@Steve-Bros any update?

[Steve-Bros]

Sadly, no updates. My main problem is that this is my only computer. I tried reinstalling the software with administrator mode, but still nothing. Sorry.

[ahkohd]

@Steve-Bros thanks. I will investigate further after I dual-boot my mac with
Windows 10.

I'm having the same issue here, really hoping it can be fixed easily cause this look super amazing

@Jack-Chronicle @Steve-Bros Thanks a lot for reporting this issue.
Please try v1.0.25 https://github.com/ahkohd/switch-desktop/releases/download/v1.0.25/Switch-Setup-1.0.25.exe

It's funny that I have forgotten why I haven't made this version public yet, but it seems it contains the fix to the reported issue.
Please help me out by testing ASAP so that I can update the link at the homepage.

Thanks!

Same issue here, already with the v1.0.25

Same issue here, already with the v1.0.25

It worked on the last Windows10 system I tried it on. I wonder what is wrong, I will try and investigate tomorrow as soon as I lay my hands on a Windows10 system.

I think I have found what the issue is.

According to http://mimeapplication.net/x-msdownload it's said that the content-type of a .exe can be one out of application/x-msdownload, application/octet-stream and application/x-msdos-program.

but in the code, I only checked if the content type is application/x-msdownload

[ahkohd]

As a matter of fact, content types related to application/x-msdownload are:

let exeRelatedContentTypes = [
'application/x-msdownload',
'application/bin',
'application/binary',
'application/com',
'application/dos-exe',
'application/exe',
'application/macbinary',
'application/msdos-windows',
'application/octet-stream',
'application/x-com',
'application/x-exe',
'application/x-macbinary',
'application/x-msdos-program',
'application/x-stuffit',
'application/x-tencore',
'application/x-winexe',
'application/x-zip-compressed',
'vms/exe',
];

then the fix will go like this:

if (exeRelatedContentTypes.includes(file.type) && ....

I will make an update before tomorrow night to fix this issue, till then please bear with me.

@Steve-Bros @Jack-Chronicle @DylanAkp 😉I just fixed the issue. PR #51 ships the fix to the bug.
You can download the update from the home page.

I have tested here, it works, but just to be double sure I need someone else to test it, just to affirm that the fix works. 😁

[DylanAkp]

Fixed for me, thank you for your work !

[ahkohd]

Can anyone confirm this before I close this issue?

[DylanAkp]

Working perfectly, thank you! Téléchargez Outlook pour Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>
