Codeium can't run on my Neovim (Windows 10 x64)

[Samuel-Ricardo]

Hi! I made installation using Packer, but at finish installation it doesn't stop to send error messages

all the plugins that i have works, just Codeium throw errors :(

I try to run the .exe, but the windows say that this can't run on my windows, maybe something about compatibility, but i am using an updated 64 bits Windows 10

*neovim version:

---

NVIM v0.8.2 Build type: RelWithDebInfo LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3 Compilado por runneradmin@fv-az28-353

---

I can't auth to

I try to install manually by git clone repository, but i have the same issues

Have some solution to this?

*Detail: Codeium works fine on my VS Code, just in neovim i have this issue

Can you try to run language_server_windows_x64.exe manually? What does it say when you try?

Can you verify that language_server_windows_x64.exe is set to executable?

[Samuel-Ricardo]

When i run language_server_windows_x64.exe windows show a message:

Translating: This application cannot run on your computer, to find a version for your computer, contact the software vendor

[Samuel-Ricardo]

it's like my computer isn't compatible, but i think that i have the specs to run it:

Windows 10 64 bits Neovim 0.8 Packer (plugin manager) git

And it runs in VS Code, so i think that maybe could be a problem in some .vim file

By the way, my Neovim is configured with lua but i dont know if this is relevant

[fortenforge]

Hmm, I wonder if the download of language_server_windows_x64.exe was aborted prematurely. Can you compare the size of this language_server_windows_x64.exe as compared to the equivalent binary in vscode? You should be able to see the path to the vscode binary in the Output tab of vscode (click on Codeium in the upper right dropdown).

Hi again! :D

Thank you for all your help and attention, I managed to solve this problem, I'll explain it here in case someone has the same problem: 💡

I install Codeium with Packer on Neovim

First Problem: language_server_windows_x64.exe not execute ⚙️

1 - First i verify the language_server_windows_x64.exe file and i see that it has 0 kb of space, I thought it was strange

• Path where i found the .exe:
• C:\Users\{your_windows_user}\.codeium\bin\b43caa7661bde4411c6c11d3b938890bc1ea0d08

it was not running how i said before in this thread

2 - I remembered that it works correctly in VS Code, so i go to Codeium VS Code Plugin path:

• In Windows is something like this:
• C:\Users\{your_windows_user}\.vscode\extensions\codeium.codeium-1.2.11

3 - i find the .exe that runs on VS Code here

• C:\Users\{your_windows_user}\.vscode\extensions\codeium.codeium-1.2.11\dist\b43caa7661bde4411c6c11d3b938890bc1ea0d08

4 - For my surprise, this was running normally and had more than 0 kb of space :D

So my solution 💡 was copy VS Code Executable and paste on .codeium path

• Copy from: C:\Users\{your_windows_user}\.vscode\extensions\codeium.codeium-1.2.11\dist\b43caa7661bde4411c6c11d3b938890bc1ea0d08\language_server_windows_x64.exe
• Paste to: C:\Users\{your_windows_user}\.vscode\extensions\codeium.codeium-1.2.11\dist\b43caa7661bde4411c6c11d3b938890bc1ea0d08

I override the existing file

Seconde: Codeium still not running 🏃

1 - I uninstall and reinstall Codeium on neovim 1.1 - close and reopen neoviem

• Before these steps Codeium already crash in installation loading

• Now, it loads normally

• But, it not run after install, it happens because i need to auth 🔐

2 - After run :Codeium Auth it opens codeium webpage (before it can't open the page automatically) but after paste the Key and confirm it crash again, but with a different error:

• It said something about security in the logs (I didn't take a screenshot sorry 😞), I turned off my antivirus and it worked fine
• After that I turned it back on and had no more errors so far

This solves my problem 😃

What i think that happens 🤔

• Probably my antivirus 🛡️ was interfering on the proccess. 🐛

• I think it blocks the installation of an .exe script from another script (from the install script) and this generates the problem of language_server_windows_x64.exe not running, this explains why the file was 0 kb, it probably started the download, but it was blocked

• But why it works fine in VS Code?
  • Probably as VS Code is a trusted and known source, so it wasn't blocked

• The second error reinforced my hypothesis that the antivirus was blocking what it thought were suspicious actions
• See that after resolving the exe file issue, my code crashes on auth until I turn off my antivirus which was probably blocking an unknown script from executing changes to my system

| - Remember that an antivirus don't necessarily know what is Codeium and his files, for antivirus, it's a script running on pc and trying to do something, like a body immune system in the doubt it defends your body (PC in this case) with methods acquaintances

- besides all, after install, i inspect the file with my antivirus and it doesn't find any danger >  - Afterwards, I ran a full inspection of the entire PC, restarted it in the process, and found no danger again. - I am using Codeium normally with no more problems, by the way, it's amazing to work with it, I am amazed to see AIs working
So if i am right, all this is just my antivirus commiting a misunderstanding
