Can't start windows installer

[enews]

What happened?

Upon running the installer setup wizard, I get hit with this error message:
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

Can't seem to find anything related to this in the issues.

Reproducible?

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

can u try generic version?

[enews]

hiya, same issues still with the generic version. according to the docs my computer should be able to use the regular version though.

[NOCanoa]

Next version will be out later today, let me know if it works whit that one.

[enews]

yep i'll check it out. Hope it gets fixed so i can try the browser out!

I think it already works. Downloaded it just a minute ago from the official website and it works. Windows 11 Home version 23H2 here:

Heya @NOCanoa Just tried the new build, it still throws the same error.

Could u have a look at win defender , is he doing something or deleting stuff?

[enews]

Can't really see anything specific where this may be causing an issue, is there any setting you recommend me looking at? Could this also be because there isn't any signed cert?

This looks like a problem with user's local policies, I don't think it's a browser problem

[mauro-balades]

It's possible that it's being restricted by your computer, like you are using some sort of company computer where you dont have permissions? Try running it with administrator

[enews]

I am using a computer that's enrolled under a policy, and I'm guessing that's the issue, but there aren't any app restrictions that I know of
I just tried running it as administrator and yep that didn't work either

I wonder if the issue is related to fact that this is an unsigned app

[mauro-balades]

Probably, I'll look into it but chances are you simply don't have the permissions to do it

[enews]

Yeah, this has never happened with anything else I've downloaded though :(

Hi there, I can run the installer now, but I only get so far till this error occurs - is this also an issue with a windows policy?

[mauro-balades]

Related to #37... try disabling windows defender maybe?

[enews]

I'll try that out, but I just got the browser working downloading it as a package.
I do have a question though, there isn't an option to set it as my default browser - how do i go about doing that?

(No option to browse apps from PC)

The prompt in app also doesn't do anything.
