Where to install the app in 64-bit machines #194

Closed eudroa00 closed 8 months ago

I found that the extension doesn't recognize the app because the installer places it by default in the /Program Files (x86)/ directory. Manually changing the directory to /Program Files/ fixes the problem.

Wait, which version of the coapp did you install exactly? The 64bits version on a 64bits system, correct?

paulrouget commented 9 months ago

Can you tell which browser you're using? Did you have the old (v1) coapp installed before?

eudroa00 commented 8 months ago

I installed vdhcoapp-2.0.10-windows-x86_64-installer.exe on a 64bits system. I use Opera and I did not have the v1 installed.

@eudroa00 hey, do you mind helping out?

Normally, the 64bits installer should not have installed under /Program Files (x86)/ but under /Program Files/. I checked,

Do you mind uninstalling the coapp, and redownloading vdhcoapp-2.0.10-windows-x86_64-installer.exe and double checking where it installs it on your system?

I double-checked it and this time the installer targeted /Program Files/. Thank you.
