Installed Executable Not Running
jayddg75 opened this issue · comments
Hey, running into a weird problem. The freeze output works just fine. I sign the executable and it runs just fine via double click. I create the installer with your default NSIS script just adding a license page and install the program via the installer to my computer; the installer is signed as well. It all installs no problems.
I go to run the executable in program files (x86) and it wont run on double click. I either have to give it admin permissions or run it via powershell or cmd line. Can you help me with this, not sure if I have something set wrong or it is a Windows thing. When I run on double click, nothing happens; doesn't show up in task manager.
Operating System: Windows 11 Home
Python: 3.12
fbs: pro 1.2.1
PyInstaller: 6.8.0
PySide: 6.7.0
Regards,
Jason
Hi! Which edition of Pro do you have? Hobbyist, Startup or Enterprise?
Thanks @mherrmann . I found the issue and it has nothing to do with fbs. I was putting writable files into C:\Program Files (x86) instead of C:\Program Data (for all users to write to).
I am using the hobbyist version. Love fbs, by the way, it saved me a lot of time and headache. I come from more of a data background vs the application side of things. This made things much easier for me and filled in a lot of the pieces I needed.
Closing this. All good
