While updating from EasyABC 1.3.5 to 1.3.8.4 on a current Wn10 I came
across these issues:
Installation seems to be successful but on first launch it reports problems
with access to c:\users\jwdj\AppData
Uninstalling reported success, but the program folder c:\Program Files
(x86)\EasyABC\ was still there, with all its contents
Deleting the program folder manually and installing again with "run as
administrator" set installed EasyABC and it works fine now.
What should be improved:
c:\users\jwdj\AppData should not be used as a destination directory.
If administrator rights are really required, the setup should request it
automatically.
I was not able to reproduce that issue again. Another installation of 1.3.8.4 worked as expected.
Maybe the reason was a process that was still running or the like.
Nevertheless the error message from the screenshot is misleading. c:\users\jwdj\AppData did never exist on my computer and was not created by installing with admin rights. I don't understand how it got mentioned in the error message.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
