Installation doc + missing access to protected directory "WindowsApps" #175

Closed Svan987 closed 10 months ago

Svan987 commented 10 months ago

Packages.txt

Install was done on a fresh Windows 11 Pro 22631.3007

As you can see in attached log several packages directory are unable to be deleted.

Need to add to "Atlas Documentation" - "Install Atlas OS", the instructions to give ownership to this hidden and protected directory "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" (replace owner on subcontainers and objects too) before installing Atlas OS.

This is a unique issue, I do not believe it warrants docs modifications. Please ensure you actually did a correct install.

If the issue persists, test it on the dev playbook.

Svan987 commented 10 months ago

This is not a unique issue. Even launching "AME Wizard* with admin rights if you don't have ownership on this directory everybody will have same log errors. Don't reply to say something stupid like this.

Ast3risk-ops commented 10 months ago

AME requires admin rights to launch at all.

I personally have had no issues installing Atlas.

Still, please test this on the dev playbook.

+ people are kinda stupid how would they know to open powershell and use icacls, loads of them don't even read the damn docs.

Doesn't AME literally have access to the kernel too? so this issue doesn't make sense, especially for it to be in the docs repo.

Ast3risk-ops commented 10 months ago

Yeah wrong repo for sure.

Svan987 commented 10 months ago

AME was launched with admin rights even it's not written in doc.

Ast3risk-ops commented 10 months ago

AME was launched with admin rights even it's not written in doc.

AME always launches with admin rights. It always asks for them, that's how it's designed, it can't work without them.

Svan987 commented 10 months ago

Can you post your "Packages.txt" log in the "AME" directory ?

Ast3risk-ops commented 10 months ago

I'm on Linux, I can dump it from my VM later.

EDIT: AME folder is empty (it's been a while, must have been cleaned). Someone else will need to confirm this.

In the meantime I'm going to spin up a new win11 VM.

Found the archived ame logs in ProgramData

Anyway here you go: https://paste.asterisk.lol/raw/irukehazos @Svan987 (logs are from win10, not 11)

I only see errors regarding Edge (which is in SystemApps + this is normal, edge was removed anyway)

Ast3risk-ops commented 10 months ago

Upon further inspection of your document, all the errors are coming from removing one app, MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience.

Other removals of apps in the WindowsApps folder (in the same packages log you sent) were successful.

Doesn't AME literally have access to the kernel too?

AME requires admin rights to launch at all.

What I've found verifies these statements.

Hi, Ast3risk

Thanx for your file. I remember know that I didn't want to do the "Windows Update" before installing Atlas OS. Because it downloads updates related with Defender and I wanted to remove it. And those updates stay in history. That's why in my log the wizard can not find the "WebExperience" files.

The issue can be closed. Sorry for my first words that were hard.

Greetings.

@JayXTQ You can close this.

@Svan987 Yeah always update windows first.
