thr3ad Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) I downloaded BitTorrent-Sync_x64.exe v2.1.1.65 and tried to run it; my cursor shows progress momentarily and then the program quits without launching the installer. Is Windows 10 supported? Update: I occasionally can get the "install" dialog to come up. I use the defaults and click "install" and it closes the dialog and exits without installing anything -- no items on the desktop, nothing in Program Files. Inexplicably *one time* it actually launched BitTorrent Sync and it ran perfectly until I exited; now I still can't find the program files, and there is no listing under Programs and Features in Control Panel. Pretty confused here. Edited August 9, 2015 by thr3ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remirus Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 thr3ad, please download Sync again from our site and try to launch it.If it doesn't help you, please tell about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thr3ad Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I just tried and it opened the install dialog. When I clicked "install" it closed without installing, and now when I re-open the installer it just exits immediately. I am running BitDefender and Zemana Anti-malware if that makes any difference. Otherwise it's a relatively new install of Windows 10 Pro, originally installed from the insider preview edition (all updates are currently installed from Microsoft).

RomanZ Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 @thr3adCould you please check if installer copied any files to %appdata%\BitTorrent Sync? Also, I would advise to disable both BitDefender and Zemana as a test: Sync runs from %appdata% and it might happen that their heuristics prevents it from running.

thr3ad Posted August 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 Ah, I found it in %appdata%! I must have just not been adding any desktop of start menu icons, and also failing to start automatically. Thanks for your help. Maybe you can answer one other question I have: I set Sync to start when I start my computer, however every time it starts it asks for an administrator password. Is there a way to prevent that?

Remirus Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 thr3ad, that will be fixed in future releases.Now as workaround you can edit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BitTorrent Sync\Revision and set it to 2010002 if you already have updated Sync from this link or 2010001 if your Sync version is 2.1.1.
