I found this info in other github, installation hang up when install it. I think need config timeout when download and retry after installation completed

Hi @Qynklee , I'll take a look at this and see what might be causing the hang up. Since all of the other MiTeC tools seem to download properly, I don't believe it's a website issue, but I'll see what I can find out.

[digitalsleuth]

Can you also provide the link to the other GitHub you referenced? I believe I've found the cause, but would appreciate being able to see the input from the other repo. Cheers!

[Qynklee]

In this, I dont find any other link about WRR.zip in repo. So I find in google and got this: https://github.com/Ash258/Shovel-Ash258/blob/main/bucket/WindowsRegistryRecovery.yml I download by this link and my speed about ~ 5KB/s. I think it make my WIN-FOR installation very slow.

[Qynklee]

This is my installation errors log after completed. I think some errors because I disable Windows Defender before install. errors.txt

[digitalsleuth]

It appears that Windows Defender identifies this file as malicious and it's possible that the hang-up is due to this. Can you please provide your winfor-saltstack log as well, located on the root of the C: drive?

[Qynklee]

Here you are, my logs about 54MB so I compress it by zip. winfor-saltstack-v2024.9.1.zip

[Qynklee]

I already disable Windows Defender before install so I think some module cant add to exclusion, which make some errors

[digitalsleuth]

I have a few possible solutions for this that I can implement. Would you possibly be able to provide the output of the following command from a PowerShell prompt: Get-MpComputerStatus. This way I can better detect the status of Defender prior to attempting to add exclusions which won't work.

As for the MiTeC downloads, it appears that you either may have had a connection issue, or may be behind a proxy, because I'm seeing a lot of "HTTP 599" errors and "Errno 10061". Sometimes these errors are because of a proxy, firewall, or some other appliance in the way of the connection.

[Qynklee]

Yeah. This is my output command, hope it can help you

[Qynklee]

I am creating new VM with original Windows 10 without disable Defender and run WIN-FOR installation again 😄

[digitalsleuth]

Could you also try running the following from a PowerShell prompt: Get-Service windefend

[Qynklee]

Yeah. It's stopped

[digitalsleuth]

Perfect. Since that command works on your system and provides the expected result, I can use that for validation. Cheers!

[Qynklee]

Thanks you so much 😄 I'm glad I could help
