Operating Systems

This app can't run on your PC

Client: Win 10 Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.329)

Barrier Version

2.3.3

Steps to reproduce bug

READ ME, DELETE ME: Try to be succinct. If your bug is intermittent, try and describe what you're doing when it happens most.

  1. Download https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/releases/download/v2.3.3/BarrierSetup-2.3.3.exe
  2. Run it and click through all the "are you sure" menus.
  3. Get a "This app can't run on your PC" notification.

I uninstalled v2.3.2, removed any and all related folders, tried to install 2.3.3 and got this error ;_;

I have the same exact issue, windows complains that this app can't run on your PC.

I also tried the macOS build, and no dice either.

Same here. I get "image not recognised" trying to open the .dmg

Seems like there are some corrupt uploads.

Yeah, its because Azure zips them up.. and I didn't extract it. I'm just uploading them now.. Let me know if that works.

BarrierSetup-2.3.3-release.exe has the same problem.

I confirm this.

However I can add the .zip extension and then unpack the release.

Damn.. this is odd. OK, I'm just uploading the "real" EXE now. Hopefully that should work. The problem is that Azure Pipelines appears to zip everything, and then present it as a .exe. Which as you can see, has caused some confusion!

OK, should be an EXE now. Apologies all, this has taken longer than it should have!

At some point, it would be great to have Azure do the releases..

I said, it is fixed. In this repo. But I'm not part of Barrier anymore, so I'm gonna go ahead and unsubscribe from this issue...
