Windows 10 - 1.6.0-beta not copying binaries to %appdata%\Horizen and stuck in copy loop

[psyraxaus]

Hi team, A few users have reported that when attempting to change from lite mode to full node mode the 1.6.0-beta version of the wallet fails to copy the binaries to %appdata%\Horizen.

I can replicate the issue on my Windows 10 21H2 dev VM, and from what I can see the GUI is trying to copy the binaries but does not work and gets stuck in a loop without copying the binaries and continues to copy the temp files to the %appdata%\Horizen folder.

Please see the following video screen capture.

The %appdata%\Sphere by Horizen\log.log has the following repeating in it: [2023-01-05 06:29:08.561] [info] C://Users//test//AppData//Roaming/horizen//zend// [2023-01-05 06:29:08.568] [info] C://Users//test//AppData//Roaming/ZcashParams/ [2023-01-05 06:29:08.575] [error] webpack_require(...) is not a function [2023-01-05 06:29:08.666] [info] zend exec path is "C:\Users\test\AppData\Roaming/horizen/zend/zend.exe" [2023-01-05 06:29:08.799] [info] zend not found.

Can you please investigate and advise?

Thanks

Here is a work around: 1) Close the Sphere wallet 2) Navigate to %appdata%\horizen in windows explorer 3) Copy the files, except fetch-params.ps1 in the Zen_Win_binaries_v3.2.0_legacy_cpu folder in the zend-temp.zip to %appdata%\horizen\zend 4) Copy the fetch-params.ps1 to %appdata%\horizen 5) run the %appdata%\horizen\setup_zen.bat, which will then fetch the params 6) after the params are fetched and opening the wallet again, the wallet starts syncing as it should
