Don't seem to be able to get the portable version to run

[Richard Lake]

Hi,

I have downloaded & extracted the portable version.

I double click on it…hourglass for about a second & then nothing.

Do I have to do anything special to get it to run?

[Richard Lake]

sorry…forgot to say this is System Ninja Pro

Hi Richard.

On newer versions of Windows, you will need to “unblock” the zip file prior to extraction, or else Windows will not allow the executable files contained within to run.

Please see these instructions: https://singularlabs.com/tips/how-to-unblock-a-zip-file-on-windows-10/

just tried that…unblocked. Opened with Explorer…copied & pasted to a folder. Run the exe…same think…get the uac prompt…say yes…then nothing

Is this Windows 10? Also, What level is your UAC set to?

As an alternative, you can install System Ninja and then take all the files from ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\System Ninja’ (except the uninstaller) and move them to another folder. This will then become a DIY System Ninja Portable.

UAC is set to notify

10 Pro ver 1903

Thanks for this. We’re going to try to reproduce this issue and figure out what’s going on.

Just to confirm: Is the installer version still working as expected?

[Richard Lake]

yep. Installed version opens fine

Hi Richard,

We’ve just published a new build of System Ninja 3.2.6 Portable (3.2.6.2).

Does this version run on your computer? (don’t forget to unblock prior to extracting)

Kind regards,

Shane
