Setup failing: windows permissions and firewalls

Tiffany Hodkinson -

In some circumstances the Pyrusium installer fails.  This is usually down to Windows permissions, firewalls or a failure to download individual installer components.  Please work through the following:

 

Windows Permissions and Firewalls:

In order for Pyrusium installations and updates to work as expected, workstations need to be able to access the following locations:

The installer will download.Net 4.5 and VCRedist from Microsoft if not found.

The installer scope is ‘perMachine’ so updates will be made as follows: 

  • registry entries will be written to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • shortcuts will be added to the “all users” start menu
  • application files saved to: Program Files and ProgramData
  • log files written to C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData

It does this by displaying the UAC prompt and then running with elevated privileges.  If the user can authorise UAC then writing to these folders should not be a problem.

 

Installer:

The latest version of the installer is always located here: http://www.pyrusium.com/downloads/PyrusiumBundle.exe

  • DWORD Value: "Installed" with a value of 1
