Trouble Installing

Post by ArtF »

Hi All:

  Some folks have had trouble installing lately as
microsoft seems to be upping the security levels
on many items. Our installer is very old, but has
been pretty good.
  I have added a new download link for Win10 users
who have trouble getting an install to run. Its a quiet install
that puts all the files in place and adds the Vexx and Gearotic
shortcuts to your desktop.

Id appreciate it if you let me know if this solves a problem
you may be having, I suspect its getting time to update to a new
installer technology, though I havent as yet settled on one.

Thx

Hay Art,
I ran the new download and received the attached warning.
I clicked "run anyway" and it downloaded  the file, than windows defender wanted permission to run it.
The program was loaded on my desktop, but did not over wright the current copy.
Hope this helps
Jerry

Thanks Jerry:

  Win10 is starting to give warnings over anything it doesnt recognise it seems.
The MSI probably didnt overwrite anythign as it didnt see anything different,
inlike the setup.exe installer which installs everything every time, this new one
is faster and only updates when it has to.

Thanks for the test

If anyone has trouble running Gearotic in any particular OS, please let me know.
Win10 seems to be  getting more secure and sometimes a bit paranoid about
what it will run. If you cant run it, let me know and Ill work with you to figure out why.

Thx
