nothing happens, then "access denied" after 2 minutes #12295

Hi,

unfortunately I am on a corporate network with lock down versions of Windows 10. I managed to download and install the msixbundle from github, and Windows Terminal even shows up in settings, start etc...

But when I click on it via Start Menu nothing happens, and after a while I get a dialog box telling me the application had an error. If I execute wt.exe in a console, after the same amount of time, I get a singe line printed "access denied".

I know, there is very little in this issue, but does this ring any bell?

I am trying to compile it with VS2019 (to look at it in debug), but this is proving harder than expected.

This sounds like #6010.

It very well might be. @audetto if you can download the msixbundle, then I might recommend taking that .msixbundle, renaming the extension to .zip, then unzipping that, and inside you'll find three msix files. Again, rename the one for your architecture to .zip and unzip that. Inside there should be a windowsterminal.exe which you should be able to run directly. WE call this "running unpackaged". That migh work around whatever corporate IT policy they have in place.

Yes. Works!
