Windows: Python 3.9 sometimes fails to install #45

Open CodaKidGit opened 2 years ago

CodaKidGit commented 2 years ago

On some windows computers, the launcher won't install Python 3.9. It finishes the download, stops responding, and then acts like it finished, and therefore restarts.

The dependencies folder is still empty after it installs.

Reproduction steps:

  1. Install the latest version of the Launcher.
  2. Go to the Python Section
  3. Click Download next to Python 3.9
  4. Wait for it to finish.
  5. Restart the Launcher.

It looks like it may be related to Antivirus Software such as Bullguard or McAfee.

Disabling the Antivirus doesn't make it work though.

Was able to reproduce. I manually installed Python 3.9 and the Launcher was still not able to find it.

Figured out the cause of this paticular bug. On some Windows computers(especially Windows 11), App Exclusion Alias' for Python can cause an issue. image

New Update: This issue seems to be also caused by spaces in the username.
