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.
