While Knossos was running, I tried installing Awakenings using the "Download with Knossos" link from this page : https://fsnebula.org/mod/awakenings

Nothing happens. I don't see "Awakenings" in Knossos's Home tab.

I'm pretty sure the "fso://" links were working for me in the past.

How can I verify that I have "fso://" Support enabled?

Using Knossos 0.14.3.on Windows 10.

My browser is Chrome Version 95.0.4638.69 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Open regedit.exe, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and check if it has a fso subfolder. If it's there, fso:// links should work. However, something seems to have changed and the installer doesn't create the keys correctly. This picture demonstrates the issue quite clearly: image

You can manually fix this by editing the (Default) key so it matches the Default key (Windows ignores the latter). I would probably have to update the installer to fix this issue. I'm not sure whether I have to change the script or if updating NSIS itself is enough... either way, this won't be an issue for NuKnossos since it doesn't use NSIS in the first place.
