Post-install step problem on Windows

Introduction

On a Windows 64-bit machine, there is a known issue in the 1.6.0 and later versions with the post-installer step that occasionally fails to create the executable.

The problem seems to be related to the rights of the folder from which the installer is run.

Solution 1

Don't run the installer from a system folder (e.g. C:\) but from a user folder (C:/Users/<username>/Downloads).

Solution 2

You can still run the ConfigFileEditor by executing java -jar jar/coupe.jar from the install directory or doubleclick the coupe.jar executable jar located in the jar subfolder of the install directory.

Solution 3

Use the portable version that doesn't require an installer.
