When I try to load 4.18 on a windows 10 machine I get the error message:
Error opening file for writing: C:\Program Files (X86)\JMRI\LaunchJMRI.exe If I ignore this and complete the install, JMRI crashes when it is opened. I have turned of Windows Defender firewall and tried running the installation as an administrator. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks, Jack Varadi |

Hi Jack, The firewall isn't the problem, but your antivirus is. Depending on how that works, you must add an exception for JMRI (whitelist it). These days most antivirus programs regard anything that they have no knowledge of as hostile and dangerous. So you need to either wait until the virus definitions have been updated by your antivirus provider and hope that they then include this version of JMRI, or find the way your AV can be overruled. This will happen again, with each new release in which LaunchJMRI changes.

Other possible is do not try the update while there is a running copy of JMRI or you will get this message.
A? anti-virus app has a "quarantine" where downloaded, un-trusted apps, are placed.? Find it and tell the Anti-virus you trust the app in question.? OR wait for the next update of you Anti-Virus app. Marc |
