Problem lies with the fact the My Documents folder is on a network drive. On previous versions, this did not cause any problem. |
From the logs: On 0.80 we are installing files there for DSC. Perhaps we can make those non vital and check if that works? 🤔 |
@benhur2407 , |
I tried the proposed installer and it works like a charm. Looking forward for this change in 0.81 Release. Thanks. |
Thanks for verifying! |
Is this fix committed then? |
Yes, We'll be releasing it in a 0.80.1 hotfix in the next few days. |
Tank you very much for taking care of this so promptly. |
0.80.1 did not fix this issue. |
I concur. Issue is still present in 0.80.1 |
Ah, before you were trying to use the user installer and now it's the machine installer? 🤔 Wonder if that's the issue. |
It is the German word for the "My Documents" folder ( |
Just tried the user installer and I get the same error. See attached log. powertoys-bootstrapper-msi-0.80.1_20240412131423_001_PowerToysUserSetup_0.80.1_x64.msi.log |
As @htcfreek said, it's the german 'My Documents' equivalent. That folder resides on a network share. Here are the two log files with some redacted personal information: powertoys-bootstrapper-msi-0.80.1_20240412063729.log |
I did not check the logs. But that sounds like a problem with folder redirection. |
Thinking the same. I have active folder redirections for various user shell folders that point to network shares. For example:
|
I too am getting issues since v0.79.0, same issue, My Documents is mapped to a network drive/mount. v0.80.1 did not resolve the problem for me. |
Hey @dkeitzel, I'm trying to reproduce the issue locally on my Windows 11 VM machine and I wonder how you did your setup. What I did:
However, I'm getting the following error: Not sure why the dot is being appended 🤔 |
Hi @yuyoyuppe. Not sure either. What I can say is that I'm not an admin on my maschine. Furthermore I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise, not Windows 11. I also did not use the user installer, but the normal "system" one. I assume the user has access to that share? |
Hi @yuyoyuppe, not sure if this helps... I'm using Window 10, in Explorer, mount a Network share as a Drive (J: in my case), view the properties of My Documents folder and select the "Location" tab and "Move" the folder to the Mounted drive (or sub-dir on the mount). Attempt to install an update >0.79.0, either from the PowerToys Admin panel or via the MSI directly (the latter will/should display a drive error) HTH |
We've figured out how to fix this for machine installer. #32691 |
I've just been notified of an update to 0.81.0 and can confirm that the update went smoothly! Thanks for sorting the issue, really appreciate the effort and time you devs put into the PowerToys project and bug fixes! |
