Directory not empty #114

Closed m-i-h closed 2 years ago

m-i-h commented 2 years ago

Keep getting "directory not empty" error when trying to setup the portable version. I DO choose the option to install to the directory anyway, but it fails, regardless. I've also tried creating new folders in various places, and tried the last couple of versions. Same thing. This is for a new installation to a Windows 10 computer. I don't have a prior version installed, but when I tried that option just in case, it's missing the .json file (as it logically should).

Can't repro with latest version https://github.com/portapps/brave-portable/releases/download/1.40.113-82/brave-portable-win64-1.40.113-82-setup.exe.

Are you trying to install on network drive?

m-i-h commented 2 years ago

No. It is to the local C: drive. Specifically to C:\my-programs\BraveBrowser

I ended up using an extractable instead.

Sorry I couldn't get back sooner (spouse brought Covid home from Blackhat).

I couldn't run the executable @crazy-max, because I repeatedly got the error that the folder was not empty (even though it was). I had to use the extractable, which didn't require running the executable.
