Error on install - A device attached to the system is not functioning #265

Hello,

First, Calcpad is now my favourite engineering calculator. An excellent tool indeed!

I am getting a weird error trying to install on my work machine. (Win 11 - i5)

I have checked all hardware in device manager but there doesn't seem to be any issues.

I have installed dotnet sdk 8.

Am doing something wrong?

Is there a portable/ non-install version?

Big Thanks!

Hi! It looks like some antivirus software is making problems. Check the antivirus for recent detection or putting the file into quarantine.

Hi!

Yes, it is a virus scan issue.

My IT team will no longer help me with the install as a threat has been detected. (sad)

Interestingly the MS Store version installs and runs fine...

Will there be an update to the MS Store version?

Thank you for you help!

Hi,

The MS Store version is actually the same, it is just a bit older. This is certainly a false alarm. After compiling, we sign the program files with our official Digicert EV code signing certificate. After that, the code cannot be modified, without breaking the corresponding hash.

I think you can safely take it out of quarantine and report a false alarm. In all cases, it is an open source software. You can clone the source code and compile it by yourself on your own computer with VS 2019. Nothing can be safer than that. :)

Hi!

I made a portable version and uploaded it here: https://calcpad.eu/download/calcpad-portable-en-x64.zip

Please, try if it works. Just download the file and unzip it on a flash drive or a folder on your computer.
